Portrait Slam was created for anyone who uses photography as a personal and/or professional means of expression, with a hunger for honing their craft, plugging into a community of artistic collaborators, and playing creatively.
Past participants include working professional models, theater and screen actors, social media influencers, cosplayers, musicians, artists, and photographers & videographers of all backgrounds.
​
​Our first slam was hosted at the historic Elks Lodge in downtown Medford, Oregon in September 2018. Local models and photographers explored every nook and keyhole of the then-vacant property.
We began traveling in 2019. Since then, we've hosted over 80 slams in Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada, Colorado, Texas, Connecticut, & Massachusetts with sponsorship support t Tamron, Nanlite, & Fujifilm provide participants with a unique opportunity to shoot creatively with new gear and give away prizes. ​
