Since we want to learn photography, one of the best ways to start to learn is by searching a photography community. Even if online or offline. One of the best online communities I ever have is on here, Photography Lovers. Because in this community, you can find any photography from a genre you love.
But, have you ever heard about "practice make perfect". If you have heard about that, it's time to search the offline photography community. You can start from your camera brand and start searching the community in your city. You can ask community people about what you want to know.
Apart from asking anything about photography in your community, some communities have a project collaboration, even with makeup artists, cafes, models, or outfits, and some communities have a schedule to shoot some street photography.
And this time, I will share with you some project collaborations with De'Celine Cafe. The theme of this photoshoot is to take the cafe's ambience with the model. The intention of this photo can make some people interested in visiting this cafe and seeing how beautiful this cafe is.
If you are new to photography, you can't find a client like this because the cafe doesn't want to lose some money by hiring a photographer who doesn't have a portfolio. So with you entering the community, you can start to make your portfolio, and of course, you can make some new friends, and even maybe someday, your client will start from your friend.
In this collaboration, the community invited two models to create some photos of the De'Celine Cafe ambience. Besides that, the model uses an outfit from a local clothing brand and wears two different outfits in this photoshoot. They were also bringing one makeup artist to prettify the model. So, this photoshoot recruits many brands to make the photos look perfect.
And here is the results:
The results with second outfit:
So, please, don't be afraid if you don't have a friend to start learning photography. You can start it from the community. From that, you can find a new friend, new client, and of course, you will learn something new.
