Photography events to plot on your summer calendar

Following up on our post on Festival, fair and carnival photography, we received lots of comments about summer activities. After our last “from the show floor post,” we had a few people tell us, “I’d have gone, but didn’t know about it” or “WOW, sorry I missed that one.” So, I thought a quick update on some events coming up that are certainly worth your consideration. With summer upon us, let’s get you all out shooting! 

Drink and Click

I know a few readers reported that the Drink and Click events are super fun and worth checking out. Check out their website to find out more about their group and the events they do. 

Photography workshops and contests

Depending on your budget, preference for learning (whether virtual or in person), or your professional focus, interest in each of these will vary. 

There are also other factors like your software of choice and your market niche (events, weddings, portraits, landscapes, video, etc.). It’s important to consider these when deciding which events to attend or participate in. Virtual or in-person workshops and events, depending on your availability and location, can provide valuable learning experiences and networking opportunities.

By focusing on specific niches, you can hone your skills and develop a unique style that sets you apart.

Consider entering a contest as they can be an excellent way to engage with the photography community and receive feedback on your work. They offer a chance to showcase your talent and gain recognition. Be sure to research and select contests that align with your goals and interests.

If you don’t see an event that’s on your radar or if your holding one and it’s not here please let us know and we’ll keep updating this throughout the year! 

Overall, it’s exciting to have a variety of summer activities and events to explore as a photographer. By actively participating and staying engaged, you can enhance your skills, broaden your network, and potentially discover new opportunities in the field of photography. Stay safe and enjoy your summer shooting!
