A documentary photography community where you truly belong

Documentary photography is not just challenging, it can also be lonely.
It’s just you, your camera, and the stories you feel compelled to tell. But what if you didn’t have to do it alone? What if you had a creative home—one where you’re seen, supported, and inspired to push your work further?

This is that place.

We are a community for documentary photographers—whether you shoot for passion, projects, freelance, or business. We exist to fill the gaps that too many of us face.

A place:

  • rooted in community, art, creativity, and growth

  • to feel wholly yourself, to evolve, reflect, and connect while growing your craft (and your business, if that’s your thing)

  • that understands the need for belonging, validation, and being recognized within a supportive community

  • where we lean in together 

  • to have a freakin’ good time!

  • with a balance of REALLY feeling a part of something while just being you at the same time

  • that feels like home

We’re all about creating a space where people feel inspired, where ideas collide and where wins — big and small — are cheered on. Here, everyone brings their own unique experience, circumstances and take on things, cultivating a collaborative community where we can all learn & grow together.

This is the community you’ve been looking for!
