The Shutter Clique - Lovers of Light Unite!


Photobucket



With the inspiration of some fellow and aspiring photogs, I have decided to start a photography club of sorts. We are calling it The Shutter Clique.

Isn't that a cool name? I wish I could take credit for it, but it is one part Therese Dozier of My Sorted Affair and one part Alan Urquhart from Urquhart Townson Design and Photography. I will take credit for being the super cool person that knows all the cool people, that think of the cool names. :) (kidding) Anyway... Expect lots of exciting things from The Shutter Clique. Soon, the theshutterclique.com will be up and running and activities will probably become more elaborate, ranging from mixers to shoots. Not too mention all the ideas I have in my head for super cool t-shirts! For now we are starting simple in hopes of encouraging some passionate, fun loving artists like ourselves to come join us and unite in the promotion of good photography. If you want to enhance your skills, talk to other professionals, discover some cool locations, etc... Join us!

The first get together will be a Shoot & Chat session on Tuesday, September 22 at 6:00p.m. Email me for location at jen@jenwillphoto.com. Models will be provided or you can bring your own.

Guidelines for Participation

All skill levels welcome. Participation is not limited to professionals, BUT you must have manual SLR camera. (No point and shoots allowed!)
Must be willing to share your knowledge and love for photography with your peers and uphold the standards and ethics of The Shutter Clique.

What are these standards and ethics you ask? Well, we will solidify them soon when the website is launched. Until then, in a nut shell, the purpose of the organization is to promote the teaching and art of photography, as well as educating our consumers. Lets face it, as photographers we are artists and business people and everything in between. So why not form a network and reach out to each other?
