The Headshot Tweetup was refreshingly different from other Tweetups I had attended previously. The focus of the Tweetup was that local professional photographers were donating their services to provide attendees with free professional "headshots." I've got an idea of what it costs to have a headshot taken at a professional studio. Hint: [Not Cheap]. I couldn't pass up that offer.
The photographers were setup in two different areas. One was in a professionally lit room with a green screen backdrop, and the other was setup in the rear corner of the brick building with a nice window as a backdrop. The green screen headshot will prove useful for graphic designers that can substitute any location in lieu of the green screen. Thanks to Allison Davis Satterfield and Lianna Slaughter from Sandfoot Photography and Studio You Photography for donating their time and services.
Beer was provided by Raleigh, NC based LoneRider Brewing Company. Other refreshments and snacks like wine, cheese, crackers, and fruits were also on hand for guests.
Overall, I made several great new connections with some wonderful people last night. It's nice to see a group of people passionate about technology and other fields gather in a social environment to swap personal and professional insights. Many in attendance agree that the area needs more Tweetup events on a regular basis. I totally agree. Let's start planning the next one now!
If you attended the Tweetup last evening, I'd love to hear your take on the event. Those that may not have made it, have you ever been to a tweetup?
Thanks for reading.
