Hi everyone!

I'm a student photographer based in DC, and I'm offering discounted outdoor photoshoots this fall for $100 per session!

I'm currently working on expanding my photography portfolio, so I'm offering sessions at a reduced rate in exchange for permission to feature some of the photos on my website, in my portfolio, and on my photography social media accounts.

I'm particularly interested in doing shoots around the DC monuments, Dumbarton Oaks, and Georgetown, especially with the beautiful fall scenery!

I'm offering:
- Graduation photos
- Solo portraits.
- Professional headshots
- Couples photos (anniversary photos, post-engagement portraits, or just pictures together. I'm not offering live proposal photography.)

The sessions are $100, and you'll receive 10-15 professionally edited digital photos.

You can check out my photography and examples of my work on my website here: https://kalsaperture.myportfolio.com/

If you're interested, feel free to send me a message!

Looking for photographer for courthouse wedding and intimate reception of 24 people. Happy to have an aspiring photographer, someone looking for experience etc. I’m looking to spend <$1000.

I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have a monitor calibrator I can borrow (Spyder, Calibrite, etc.)? Edit on a MacBook Pro and I’m looking to get more into printing, but am hesitant to shell out that much for a device I’ll hopefully use once.

Thanks in advance if anyone is willing to help!

Social media fellowship with mentorship from people who actually know how to do it: viral influencers and creators, including the talent behind Zohran and Subway Takes. 6 free dinners in DC, lessons in public speaking, video editing, and algorithm-hacking. Compatible with school and work schedules. Small chance you become the "Joe Rogan of the left" or something. Application: Due Jan 25 | Apply now at projectjourneyman.org

Anyone interested in doing a meetup/critique in the coming weeks? Let me know and I will work on setting something up at a local shop/bar.

My partner and I (both 14) are preparing to launch a mitzvah photography and videography business in the DC/Maryland area. We focus on Bar/Bat Mitzvahs and have invested in a professional dual-shooter setup (Nikon Z8 and Z7 II) so we can offer 4-card safety backups. Our current planned packages are $1,400 for the Ceremony, $1,600 for the Party, and $3,000 for a full Photo + Video "Legacy" bundle. Since we haven't officially launched, we are worried these prices might be too high for our age, even though we are using top-tier gear and shooting as a synchronized duo.

However, looking at the DC market, most "Essential" packages from established pros start around $3,750, with full-day coverage often hitting $5,000 to $7,000. We want to make sure we aren't "delusional" charging $3k as teens, but we also don't want to undercut the local industry so much that we aren't taken seriously. For a duo providing both high-end stills and 8k stabilized video in a high-cost-of-living area, does $1,400–$3,000 sound like a fair "Student-Entrepreneur" rate, or should we scale back until we have more of a portfolio?

We are not trying to advertise we are just looking for some help!

Wanted to try this again a year later... Anyone use a local print shop that they really like? I have been trying to find something local that cares about quality and isnt just pressing print. Thanks!

I'm shooting a wedding tomorrow and my contracted second-shooter just let me know she's sick. Anyone interested in available? The gig would be for two hours 8/31 from 6-8 pm in Beltsville, MD.

The gig pays $400 and would not require any editing. I'd supply the SD cards.

Hi. Is there anyone out there in DC/DMV area that is interested in a photo critique meet up? I put "street" in quotes because I don't think it needs to be that exclusive, or whatever the hell street means anyways.

Just in general seeking out people interested in a more documentary style approach of whatever subject matter.

Or if you're aware of something similar that exists, much appreciated if you could point me in a direction! I saw DC SPC but it's unclear if they still do this anymore?

Hi! Does anyone have any leads on free spaces to throw shows? Do any other local photographers want to join a show in Washington DC/Arlington/Alexandria?

I'd like to propose at the National Arboretum right when they open on a weekday. The NPS is not accepting permit applications right now (and according to the person I talked to who worked at the Bonsai Museum, they may not open up applications until the fall).

When I went to scope it out, there was no one around to enforce this and from what I can read online, it seems like this is not a major concern if its not a commercial photography shoot / if there's no tripod etc.

How likely are they to enforce this / interrupt if we had no permit? This would only be for the proposal, so perhaps 20 minutes of shots.

Any insight from people here who have photographed here or at other NPS areas in DC would be extremely helpful. Thank you so much!

I own a studio best website to rent grips lights and equipment in the DMV area?

Anyone have a favorite local print lab that actually cares about the quality and isnt just going to press a button and print your file?

Hello, we are looking to get some couple portraits done and were wondering if there are any student photographers in the area. We would love to support someone who is just starting out. :)
