In the Spring/Summer of 2012 I hosted a couple of group shoots for the members of the Roswell Photography Society. One was at the sunflower farm in Rutledge and the other was at Old Car City. After the second one, I thanked everyone for coming and wished them a great weekend. I thought that was it. However, people were saying "hold on", what do you mean? That's it? You're not doing anymore of these?
After giving it some thought, I opened a Meetup.com account and held my first "On Location Photography Group of Georgia" meetup in September of 2012. The image above is from that Workshop. A woman who owned a business called Georgia Photography Group or something similar, complained about the name and Meetup unilaterally changed the name to the "Roswell On Location Photography Group". Thinking that was too long, I subsequently changed it to the "Roswell Photography Group". The issue with that name was, new photographers were reluctant to join and attend our Meetups because they thought it was only for very experienced photographers. It was for that reason I changed the name to "Roswell Photography Workshops". The change worked, as we now get new photographers and experienced photographers who are new to portrait photography attending our "workshops"! To date, I've organized over 200 events since the inception of the Meetup Group, with over 900 five star reviews on these events!
In subsequent blogs I will be sharing the locations, models and experiences of some of our workshops!
