A weekend long creative retreat for photographers.
Phoot Camp is an invite-only creative retreat and photography workshop hosted by Laura Brunow Miner, founder of Pictory and former editor in chief of JPG Magazine. (Yes, thats P-H-O-O-T, a nod to OReillys Foo Camp, a retreat for the best and brightest in the tech industry.) Picture forty-eight hours of photo walks, portrait challenges, slideshows, smore making, and general creative collaboration. Phoot Camp started in October of 2009 at a campground in the bay area. Virb sponsored the 2010 event and we were able to upgrade to an estate in the hills outside Los Angeles, and also to this lovely website built on the Virb platform.
Why Phoot Camp? Life is about doing great work with our friends, if we make it happen. Creatives can tend to be independent folks, but you cant achieve your wildest dreams on your own. While we dont always know who these important people in life are going to be or how were going to do the best work of our careers, getting a bunch of talented strangers in the same place seems like a good start to finding out.
