Photography is for everyone! Build skills in a fun and diverse community.
Bigly yuge things in the works at photopigs
Remember the open call for leaders posted the other day? Well, multiple people stepped up to the plate and volunteered to take on additional responsibility at photopigs to help build on our foundation!
First, let's welcome @John91234 @ElainaRoberts and @StuartLiamMcConville to the leadership team! This is more support than I could hope to expect. Let's knock it out of the park, y'all!
Each leader is focused on a specific aspect in one of our communities. Let's break down how we've organized the team right now.
Community Events Manager
@ElainaRoberts is our Community Events Manager and will be responsible posting weekly photograph polls and organizing events like the scavenger hunt and the birding event.
Photography Editor
@John91234 is the Photography Editor, which is focused on writing and developing educational photography content.
- Want to learn something about photography? Pitch it to John in the /newsroom!
Podcast Managers
We've talked about developing podcasts in the past and it's something that we really want to do, so we're excited that @StuartLiamMcConville is working on developing a photopigs podcast.
He will also work with @evilgenius to develop a post-processing podcast for the /playpen.
- Want to hear something specific? Have an idea for a must-have segment? Pitch it Stuart and EG in the /newsroom!
Editor-in-Chief
I am your Editor-in-Chief. You'll often see me on Imzy as @jammin but I can also been seen as @Benjamin Pecka (my real name) in some communities.
The Editor-in-Chief is a jack of all trades roles, but it's primary role is to organize and facilitate the communities efforts and make sure we stay on message.
Right now, my focus is on getting the leadership get quickly adjusted to their new roles, so that I can put my energies into developing /knowshit.
We could use more help!
We feel like these projects round out the educational component of our communities, but we could use a couple more people to make everything run smoothly and easily.
One more Community Events Manager. This is so someone can provide backup to Elaina, and so that one person can focus on a specific community (/photopigs or /playpen).
We need a Social Media Manager to help us grow our audience and ensure that these projects are a success!
If you'd like to help out, send me a direct message to inquire!




waves to everyone
hey! so glad you joined! this is so exciting!
Welcome! :-)
Look forward to what's to come!
Me too!
Congrats!
I have a piece I wrote on train photography and was going to post it here. Should I just post when it's ready or should I run it by @John91234 first? (It's a pretty basic piece piece for I am very amateur.)
As long as your post is photography related, feel free to post at will. You don't need permission from anyone. John is going to work on writing high quality content geared toward teaching photography to the community. Only his work will go through an editorial process.
In case there needs to be any further clarification, the only community that has an approval process for content is /knowshit. Members can post in /photopigs and /playpen as long as they follow the content (about photography or image processing/creation) and conduct guidelines. Anyone can contribute to community projects by joining the /newsroom and leaving feedback. :-)
I look forward to seeing the train photography in /photopigs! Photography is for everyone, at all skill-levels. Sharing your images will help get you thinking about how to improve your work.
We could also use a graphic designer.
Great idea
Yeah, the stuff I've created is decent work, but they're actually quite rudimentary. There are also some other graphical needs. They're a nice way to mark out special content and events.
Let's talk about which you need, I may have someone we can use
Okay, I'll work on a list.
