I have been holding regular free Instameets for quite a long time, generally once a month. What are Instameets, you may ask? They are a way for getting like-minded people together. A way for making connections with other hobby photographers (and professionals too!). They are social events, at sunrise (because that’s my fave time of day of course, and we are on the East Coast so it makes sense). There’s no workshop or teaching going in - we all just take photos and chat with others. We usually have coffee and/or breakfast afterwards at a cafe nearby the location.
It’s also a way for people to meet ME and see that I’m approachable and real and happy to book you into a private lesson, workshop or tour, to further your knowledge about photography, and also you can have a look at the gear I use, and the gear I sell: NISI filters, Sirui tripods, Sunwayfoto L-brackets. You can ask me questions about what I teach. You can chat with me about some gear you might want to purchase. You can just come along and not feel so alone in your photography journey!
Many people have made connections at my Instameets, and there’s no pressure. If you post your images on Instagram afterward and tag me on them, there’s a good chance I’ll feature them on my Stories, reaching quite a diverse and wide market of people out there online. So what are you waiting for? My next one is in July.
