Guerrilla Photo Group was founded in late 2006 by Albuquerque-based commercial photographer Rip Williams.  We're an ongoing creative collaborative focused on making photographic art in a social, fun and safe environment.  The weekly group is free, but we encourage everyone to bring something to share (beer and cupcakes are the current favorites.) Dozens of Photographers, Models, Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists comprise our jolly band.  Although GPG has some aspects of a seminar, looks like a meet-and-greet and happens regularly like a class, it's none of the above.  Friends are made quickly around here.

The basic premise is that if you throw total noobs and working pros into a studio-shaped blender... giving them all full access to each others respective creativity, passion and expertise... that out the other end comes fantastic photographic art.  It's sometimes silly, dark, surprising, gorgeous ...frequently edgy.  This ain't your after-school photography class.  It's a creative playground for grown-ups.  We allow booze. We allow nudity.  We're pro-art, pro-active, pro-woman and pro-education.  We're diverse, anti-pretension and jerk intolerant.  If this sounds like your cup-o-tea, feel free to drop us a line!

The group meets every Wednesday from 7pm-1am at Rip Williams Photography Studio (here's a map.)  Regular "fieldtrips" occur in and around the Albuquerque/Santa Fe areas (and occasionally, much farther flung.)
