Hey I’m Mike.
I’ve been a Photographer for the past 7 years and the one thing that I have always struggled to find is community. Creating friends in your 20s is so hard let alone finding friends who are Photographers. That’s why I wanted to create Camp Photography so that us likeminded people could come together for a weekend and create magic.
