Are you a Knoxville Photographer? There are tons of local resources to get involved in!

Here are some of my faves:

Knox SMUG: A Knoxville monthly meeting sponsored by Smugmug. A SMUG is a place where you can learn, teach and meet up with other photographers who share your passion. SMUGs are a great way to connect with other photographers and add a few weapons to your creative arsenal. Great speakers and resources on a monthly basis!

FEO: Fast Track Group: Fast Track Groups are local groups of like-minded photographers (and creatives!) who embrace the Fast Track Philosophy that we grow best as photographers (and as people) by helping and supporting each other. Because of this, we sometimes call these groups “FEO”s, which stands for: “For Each Other”. We meet on a regular monthly basis. Please check the “Events” tab on the facebook page for our next monthly event. We’d love to see you there!

Knoxville Photog Meetup: This is an online facebook group that holds shootouts every month or so. Awesome opportunity to connect with other photographers, build your portfolio through beautifully arranged shootouts, and just have some fun! We have themes for the shootouts that usually have models, designers, hair and makeup, plus some fun prizes for you!

Studio 317: A local community studio that is made with you and your client in mind! Rent the studio on a per hour basis for $20/hour or be a VIP member and get big discounts, priority scheduling, and guaranteed hours to be there for your clients! You also get use of the flat screen tv for viewing, backdrops, props, and lights! Definitely a huge resource for the Knoxville photographer!
