I was impressed by the generous sharing of time, techniques, and tips from the instructors. What stood out most was that they weren’t there to shoot for themselves; they were fully present to teach, support, and give to the attendees.

I walked away with new skills, fresh inspiration, and a collection of stunning bird images that I’m incredibly proud of. This was, without a doubt, one of the most valuable photography experiences I’ve ever had.

There's no shortage of awesome locations and photography. But the real secret of Out of Chicago? It's the community and people. You'll learn a ton, get the right balance of cheering and criticism, and make a lot of friends.
