This group was inspired by the hundreds of workshops I have given all over the US. Photographers were asking for ways to build their portfolios with high quality images and unique concepts. They were running out of ideas / did not have ideas, could not find models, locations or sets and were hitting a wall. After all a photography web-site filled with photos of your dog or your own children might not say "professional" in a way you want it to. This is what we will do here. The instructors will a …

I didn't decide to start this group, but my friend in Colombia suggested me that I should. He (Julian Giraldo) started a group called Medellin Que Parche with the purpose to show through photography, how artistic Medellin is. Now that I'm living in United States, my friend said "Hey, why don't you start the group over there? at the end you're part of Medellin Que Parche, so it could be like a separated group with the same purpose." I thought for a while and finally I said, let's do it! The group …
