Discover Around: My First Portrait Meet

 

I had the unique opportunity to attend a portrait meet at BSP West last month. If you’re unfamiliar (as I was!), a portrait meet consists of photographers–  both professional and amateur– getting together with models– both professional and amateur– to network and practice their respective crafts. While intimidating, as I am a hobbyist only, it was a really positive experience. It was an amazing space as well, with lots of natural light streaming in– the best scenario, especially in the winter!

I was a model for my friend Kristy and Jessica of JMP Images. A big thanks to them for the photos!

Have you ever been to a portrait meet? If you’re local, they happen around Boston semi-regularly and I encourage you to check it out in person. The hashtags #portraitmeet and #discoveraround on Instagram will show you more examples.
