American Photo and Model Mayhem are giving photographers a chance to build up their portfolios by allowing them to photograph real models. For one day there will be 20+ models in Los Angeles, CA. All you need to do is bring your camera. Everything else is taken care of. The cost to attend the shoot is $279 and the event will be sold out so hurry up and register.
The event will be on March 26th, 2011 from 9am – 5pm.

Enter online from October 25th through February 1st, 2011
American Photo On Campus announces its third annual Go Pro student photography contest. Want to bolster your resume and get the clips you’ll need to get great assignments? Want to share your vision with photography students and leading teachers across the country? Then enter Go Pro. You might just win a Canon DSLR — and have your photography published too!
Students may submit photos in any of our five categories. Five category winners will be selected, and one Grand Prize winner chosen from those five.

I am sure that everyone else out there that is just getting started is as curious as me as to find out which Photography Forum is the best to join. I have used a lot of forums in my day but the majority of them were from the technology industry since I work with computers and technology almost 99% of my day. I was curious as to find out what others thought about joining a Photography Forum. I just signed up on American Photo/Popular Photography’s Forum and noticed that there hasn’t been much input for some time but I am hoping that will change.Â
If anyone out there has a forum that they recommend that contains lots of tips, ideas and maybe even some cool stuff for photographers would be greatly appreciated if you can share it with the rest of us newbie photographers out there.Â
Thanks again!
