Calling all cosplay photographers!
It's been a long while since we've taken a moment to get together and talk shop, brainstorm, or just get to know each other. So let's fix that!
Come on over to the studio and bring a few prints of your work where you will be able to chat with other photogs, show off your work in printed format, and maybe swap prints.
Many photogs who attend events like this find they walk out with new contacts, fresh ideas, and techniques to try out on their own work. We'll have snacks and beverages. Just bring yourself and your prints!
