Our Philosophy

AZPhotographersGroup is all about Photography, friends, & fun. Our goal is to enjoy ourselves while promoting the art of Photography & Photoshop, and to give members the opportunity to meet other members with similar interests. As such, we try to schedule both Free Photo shoots & Social Events (movies, rafting, dinners, happy hours, museum visits, etc.)

At our Shoots It's all about serious photography. While most of the destinations are landscapes, we will also focus on resident wildlife found on location. Serious pre-planning and thought is put into selecting prime photography destinations. It is recommended that those who want to participate have an Digital SLR, but it is not a requirement.

Location Shoots

Some of the events that are planned are weekend trips, & most are day trips. Some shoots will be multi-location shoots, planned in order of sunlight direction for optimal timing. Most will have a break for lunch somewhere in between. Ride-sharing & splitting fuel expenses is expected and encouraged for economy & flexibility.

Location shoots can be suggested by anyone using the NEW Ideas Tab, posting to the message board, discussing ideas in a meeting, or contacting the organizer.

Each location shoot description will have links to important information on the location, links to the hotel or campground, and other details you should know before signing up for the trip. It's up to you to view this and plan accordingly. Some trips when we can guarantee group rates then payment will be due through the meetup page & no other plans will be required on your part!

Profiles

Please fill out your member profile & upload a picture of yourself. This helps make the group feel friendlier for members & helps the organizers and members know who you are when you come to events, so that they can greet you. Do not use inappropriate profile photos, descriptions, introductions, or member nicknames.
