It is time to take your photography to the next level. Building a good photography portfolio is a daunting task. You have the concepts, the ideas, but you lack the models ( good ones). There are always friends, family members; but to take your portfolio to the next level, you must have the models who are actual models-- yeah I know, like those whom you see on the magazines. This is a portfolio building group. Photographing real models will help open doors for you into testing and working with ag …

Having just moved here (to LA from London, UK) I thought it would be great to meet up with other people in my profession that want to network and meet like minded individuals. I have been a professional photographer for many years and have worked and lived in London, Sydney and now Los Angeles.

Taking photos and post-processing them is always more fun in groups! Come join us and we build our portfolios together exploring downtown LA and possibly other nearby areas. Photographers of any level welcome. Cityscapes, landscapes, and street photography will be our most common criteria.

Drew Santos and I host events in southern California. We teach outdoor lighting for new photographers who like to be able to produce amazing images like we do. We host our glamour events once a month. Drew and I screen our models by test shooting them before the event. We have taken group shoots to a higher level over other events. Because of our success, many events try to copy our event style but many have failed. Here are links to our previous events, some with behind the scene videos! •  D …

This group is for Disneyland enthusiasts that love taking pictures at the Disneyland Resort (mainly inside the parks). I spend a great deal of time there with my camera and thought it would be nice to share the experiences with others that have the same interest. We can share tips and tricks for day or evening shots, the people there, finding those hidden mickeys together (and other hidden characters). And if it's not too busy, take in a few rides along the way. I feel this group best fits anyon …
