Creating Community For Photographic Artists

A resource for photographers to learn, create, find support in furthering their careers and grow as artists.

We believe photography is a way of being — not just a way of making images.

We gather to see more clearly, create more honestly, and lift each other higher.

We choose curiosity over competition, presence over perfection, community over ego.

We honor every process — film, digital, experimental, hybrid — because what matters is the truth inside the image.

We show up with our work, our questions, our failures, our breakthroughs.

We listen. We challenge. We grow. Together.

We are a place for photographic artists who want:
More meaning.
More intention.
More connection.
More depth.

This is where images become conversations.
Where artists become a community.
Where vision becomes voice.

This is A Photographers Place.

What We’re About

Monthly Meetings

Twice a month we meet to talk about photography and share our work. The 1st Wednesday of the month we gather in the studio and on the 3rd Wednesday, we meet online.
Photo Critiques

Members can bring in prints to display and discuss at the in-studio meetings, but prints are not required to attend our meetings. For on-line meetings, members can send in several images ahead of time to present or members can come and attend without sharing images.
Photo Outings

Roadtripping to current photography exhibits and installs along with supporting APP members whose work is featured in group or solo photo shows. Check the calendar for our next outing.
Artist in Absentia

Each meeting, the founder of APP will highlight a past or present photographer whose published body of work is inspiring and remains relevant today.
Book Talk

Photographers bring in photography books to share at meetings and often give a short intro about the book content and the photographer’s perspective and craft.
Guest Speakers

We enjoy having guest speakers with educational storytelling abilities that inspire us. APP members can impart their takeaways, too, from any aspects of their photo craft.
Love of Photography

APP members share a love of photography from analogue-to-digital using vintage, modern techniques to contemporary composites. All viewpoints are welcome.
