What we’re about
Welcome to the Greater Phoenix Landscape Photography Meetup Group!
Are you passionate about capturing the stunning landscapes of the Phoenix area and beyond? Whether you're an experienced photographer or just starting out, our community is the perfect place for you to hone your skills, share your work, and connect with fellow enthusiasts.
*Please think about pledging a few dollars to this group as it costs over $320/year to keep the group open. Pledges add up so everything counts.*
Why Join Us?
- Guidance: Our events are designed to help you learn and grow.
- Inspiring Locations: From the vibrant desert vistas to the serene mountain views, we scout the best spots around Phoenix to ensure every outing is an adventure.
- Supportive Community: Our members range from beginners to seasoned pros, all eager to share tips, tricks, and encouragement.
- Events: We organize meetups, tours around the Southwest, and photo walks, giving you plenty of opportunities to get out and shoot.
- Most events are free to attend. Fee based tour-type events will be scheduled and typically include long distance trips (Utah Badlands, Death Valley, Oregon Coast, etc.). Fees are used to help offset the Organizers costs for admin, trip planning and part of the trip costs.
What to Expect:
- Engaging Activities: Participate in hands-on workshops, guided photo tours, and themed challenges.
- Networking Opportunities: Connect with like-minded individuals, make new friends, and expand your photographic network.
- Skill Development: Learn from each other, take part in critique sessions, and improve your technical and artistic skills.

Hello fellow Photographers, this event will be updated with more details in the coming weeks.
Right now, I do know that the temps at the Monument can be up to 30 or more degrees cooler than in Phoenix, so let's head here for a brief reprieve and to enjoy the beautiful earth formations Arizona has to offer.
Accommodation is the responsibility of each attendee. Camping is available at the Monument. There may be BLM land nearby to also camp for free and hotels in nearby cities.
