A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I’ll be honest and say that I don’t necessarily have many close people around me. Nor do I have a huge portfolio that would make people interested to pose for me. This means I’m kinda just alone when it comes to photography. Yet, I want To experiment with portrait photography to learn and make myself a portfolio. I can’t really take pictures of myself either considering I plan on using an old 1970’s film camera when it comes to portrait. Though, I do have a digital one with remote control functions, but that one won’t be nearly as immersive. What are your suggestions?

- Practice with friends/family if any are local or when you/they visit.

- Practice on coworkers by offering new headshots or seeing if anyone wants to let you practice with some family portraits of their families.

- Join your local photographer's Facebook group or a joint model and photographer's group. Post asking for a portrait exchange or a time for photos exchange.
