What's this Guild thing about?
The Atlanta Photographers Guild is a co-operative. We meet to share technique, equipment, and a good time. Official meetings and workshops are way below the price point of the general market because we believe that photography is exciting and that excitement should be shared.
When are meetings held?
Meetings are held on a bi-weekly basis and feature aspiring and professional models as subjects. Pictures taken at Guild meetings are for portfolio / Flickr use ONLY unless an agreement between artist and model has been agreed to. Commercial / promotional use by model or photographer is prohibited unless agreed to by both parties.
Can I attend?
If you're 21+ and own a camera you're welcome to attend.
How much does it cost to attend a meeting?
$10 to shoot.

I have a friend who'd be a perfect model for an APG meeting. How do I get him / her in the mix?
Awesome! As much as possible we try to use models that APG members have worked with before. If you can vouch for the reliability and dedication of the person you're suggesting, please send us their contact information along with a link to a non-Myspace picture.

I keep seeing SHOT OF THE WEEK as a thread header. What's that about?
After every meeting we post our favorite shots of the official models. The winner is chosen by an outsider or sponsor. The winner takes home a multitude of prizes and of course, the coveted Green T. Winning photographs can be seen here: SHOT OF THE WEEK WINNER
I've got something to sell. Can I post it in your group?
Please post photography and tech related items in this thread FOR SALE. This is not a place to put adverts for your business or services.
I'm a member of Model Mayhem. Where can I find other members from the APG?
