PPSCV Member Lounge

The Member Lounge is our private Facebook group where PPSCV members discuss both photography and related business topics, share tips and techniques, get equipment recommendations, post images and ask for constructive suggestions, offer equipment for sale, seek assistance for shoots, and connect with other photographers.



The PPSCV Board also participates, so you can ask questions or make suggestions to them for future events.
