An Organization of Fine Art Photographers
From the Monterey Bay Area

The ImageMakers of Monterey was formed in April 1996 by a group of fine art photographers on the Monterey Peninsula who wanted to create a venue where they could exchange ideas about the rapidly evolving world of contemporary photography.  They also wanted to review and discuss new work in progress by their fellow artists.  From an initial group of six photographers, the ImageMakers of Monterey has grown to an enthusiastic organization of over 50 members.

Members work with black and white and color using traditional, alternative and digital methods.  Their work includes documentary, landscapes, portraits, underwater sea life, architecture, still life, and a variety of other types of subject matter. The group includes instructors from local colleges and a number of well-known photographic workshops, published authors, and photographers that have exhibited locally, nationally, and internationally.

The ImageMakers of Monterey feel that the informal manner used to structure the organization maximizes the free exchange of ideas and provides inspiration and encouragement to a group of highly motivated photographers dedicated to the production of high quality fine art photographs.  The group meets monthly to share work and discuss new ideas.

It is the goal of the ImageMakers of Monterey to ensure that photography, as a vital art form, will continue and thrive on the Monterey Peninsula. Our website can be viewed at www.imagemakers.org.
