Who We Are
A group of professional and serious amateur photographers who call Crested Butte, Colorado home. We represent just about every genre of photography imaginable including portrait, wedding, stock, fine art, sports, product, commercial, architectural, etc. I don't think any of us has photographed food...yet! You will find our images in art festivals, books, calendars, galleries, note cards, advertising, magazines, newspapers, television, on the web and our client's walls.
What We Do
The Crested Butte Photographer's Guild was founded in 2008 as an orgainzation to enhance creativity, encourage professionalism, share technique and coffee, among some of Crested Butte, Colorado's many photographers. Meeting weekly over coffee, discussions involve sales and marketing, computer workflow in Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, camera technique, lighting, problem solving and general encouragement of each other. The Guild has also been responsible for several group shows at the Baldwin Gallery, Alpenglow Gallery and Piper Gallery in Crested Butte. Guild members are always represented at ArtWalks, monthly gallery crawls which happen the last Thursday of every month.
Where We Do It
Crested Butte, is one of Colorado's rare gems of a former mining town turned ski and summer resort community. We think it's one of the most beautiful places on Earth but we may be a bit biased. Many others agree though. Nestled high (8,888 feet) in the Colorado Rocky Mountains below Paradise Divide, Just east of world famous Kebler Pass and a day hike from Aspen, we are the town everyone thinks of when they imagine a Mountain Town. Colorado, Pure and Simple. Crested Butte is the Wildflower Capitol of Colorado and plays host to the oldest mountain bike festival in the country, Fat Tire Bike Week. Other events like The Alley Loop, Al Johnson Uphill Downhill Ski Race, Vinotok, Crested Butte Festival of the Arts, Alpenglow Concerts, Wildflower Rush and many others round out the year's activities.
