Top Class Portraits Photo Club in Athens, Tennessee

Are you a photography enthusiast who would like to learn more and hone your photography skills?

You've come to the right place!  We offer FREE photo club membership.  Here you may meet with other photography enthusiasts and share your knowledge with one another and learn more about photography from any of the professional photographers who are members of the Photo Club during photography club meetings.  Photo club meetings last up to two hours.  Once or twice per calendar month.  This gives you time between meetings to practice new techniques.  (Photo club meetings are aka informal photography classes).

A professional photographer will be your assistant during any portrait sessions you book while you photograph with your own camera.  Your pro assistant photographer there to provide suggestions, change backgrounds, set-up props, change studio flash configurations and answer any photography session questions you may have. 

Portrait Sessions | We Shoot or You Shoot

The portrait sessions are available in one hour increments priced at $50 for each hour.  This includes use of the studio, backgrounds, props, teaching posing and supervision and instructions from the pro photographer you have chosen to assist with your photo session shoot.  If you desire, your pro photographer can also shoot some portraits to make sure you are included in the portraits.  This is especially important for family and Christmas and other important family events.  At end of each and every session you shoot, we have a 42" computer monitor so you may carefully examine each image and reshoot any images that didn't turn out just right.  You may also ask your pro photographer assistant for suggestions for posing improvements and other portraiture concerns.

You may shoot ALL the images you want and have all the clothing changes possible during the portrait session time you reserved.  THIS is a LOT of portraiture AND great learning opportunity.  Don't forget to invite family and friends for opportunity to get portraits from you!  Start of a new career or part-time work you have a passion for?  We can help.

Would you like to try some green screen photography?  We have that too.  One green screen processing is included with each hour of portrait session time scheduled.
