Of course, there are many that enjoy the solitude. If you’re a photographer who enjoys more of a community there are some great ways to get together for group photography. The reasons to join a group are varied, and even if you’re a lone ranger there are likely some ideas here for you. Linking up with others could just be about an online community, or meeting up in person. However you like to do group photography, here are seven ideas for you.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1527077254000{padding-bottom: 15px !important;}”][vc_column][pt_testimonials uniq_id=”5b054533802f2″ animation=”fadeInUp”][pt_testimonials_item uniq_id=”5b054548940fb” name=”Mason Lauv” post=”Designer” text=”These are projects that a number of photographers partake in together. The idea at the end is to have a body of work under a common theme taken by every member of the group. A project like this could well lead to a group exhibition or a collaborative photography book.”][/pt_testimonials][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp”]Joining a photography club is one of the best conduits for group photography. Through a club, there is the possibility to organize many of the other ideas mentioned in this article. Photography clubs typically meet at regular intervals of perhaps once a week or once a month, though lots of activity can occur online between meetings.

The best place to find these clubs is through searching social media, your local community center, or perhaps there is a school club near you. These clubs are a great place to learn new photography skills, with evening post-processing workshops being fairly typical. Are you having trouble finding the right club for you? You could always start up your own group![/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1527077221962{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;}”][vc_column][pt_portfolio uniq_id=”5b05457b64786″ count_items=”3″ filter_buttons=”off” source=”items” items=”57,58,59″ animation=”fadeInUp”][/pt_portfolio][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp”]In most cases, you’ll work on the photography individually, though the leader of the project may seek to curate your work in a certain direction. The following are a few ideas that you could try:

• Subway project – Most big cities have a mass transit system, with many stations. The aim of this type of project would be to take one photograph per station. The larger cities usually have many stations, so dividing up the workload makes sense. In projects like these, it’s often a good idea to seek permission from the authorities before beginning to do any photography.
• 365 days or 52 weeks – Instead of working on your own project share it with others, and ask them to make photographs on the same theme as your own! The dPS weekly photography challenge could form the basis of this project.
• Food photography – Everyone loves good food, so combine this with your photography. Each photographer can pick a country. Then make food from that country, and photograph it. You could even make this into an international cookbook.
