Photography Chat s.3 ep.43 Juan Martinez

We’ve been talking about having Juan of @beersandcameras on the chat for a while now and we were finally able to make it happen. He talked to us about his recent trip to Germany to see the Leica HQ during the new M6 launch. We got into how Beers & Cameras got started and what the future looks like for the group. We talked about male domination in the photography world and about how we can bring more inclusivity into the community. Then he ended off with some future stuff about the meta space meeting the real world, so give them a follow to stay tuned to updates there :)

“Juan Carlos Martinez considers himself a super-enthusiast with a rekindled love for photography after the birth of his first child. Always with camera in hand, the family documentarian founded the community building meet-ups known as Beers And Cameras (B&C) virtually by accident after a few casual meetings with like minded friends at craft breweries and sharing these events on Instagram. With as many chapters around the United States as years under their belt, B&C community has come to stand for a lifestyle brand for photographers with a love for connecting with their local community and gear. A place where community is first foremost and many network and connect making lifelong friendships. Film and digital friendly, the B&C community loves to partner with brands with the same philosophies to synergistically leverage each other and push the narrative which is for uncompromised love of photography and to ‘shoot everyday.’”
