We take a fresh approach to our community.
We are a Michiana-based photographers association designed to educate, support, and network local photographers through the use of community-based projects, mentorship programs, hands-on experience, and online resources. While all facets of the organization are beneficial to photographers, our community focus is part of what makes us unique. Organizing community projects brings together two groups of people who need each other: photographers seeking project experience and networking, and local charities and causes needing quality, affordable promotional photography. We focus on taking you from where you are to where you want to be by giving you the tools and the information you need in a non-competitive, fun and friendly atmosphere.

Maple City Clinic Community Project
We're always on the lookout for dual-purpose projects that allow us to give back to the community and gain exposure for our members. This is one such project and we're excited that it's only a week away! Maple City Clinic in Goshen is a neighborhood facility that really focuses on bettering the lives of those within their community. Operating out of a renovated firehouse, they have small support groups for those battling terminal illnesses or addictions, those who need exercise encouragement, and even pregnancy support. They have heart-warming stories of how families within their community have helped each other, and improved their own lifestyles through this clinic. They even offer their clients the option of working off the medical expenses incurred at their facility through community service This is a fantastic but self-sacrificing solution for the doctors to offer. But if you enter the clinic, you'll quickly notice that their many freshly painted walls are bare...they want artwork! And since their #1 priority and focus is their community, they would like the artwork to tell some of these stories...
