Shoot & Share

We are a global community of 50,000 photographers. We believe that sharing is at the heart of it all and extends to everything we’re given. Our gifts, our knowledge, our compassion… our photos. We believe that in celebrating others’ lives we find more joy than in promoting our own. We welcome new photographers and the ideas they bring. We believe that there is more power in a warm hug than in a thousand words… so we ((hug)). Our Manifesto. We believe that the best lives are lived focused on others. That sharing is at the heart of it all and extends to everything we’re given. Our gifts, our knowledge, our compassion. Our whole lives. That in celebrating others’ lives we find more joy than in promoting our own. That there is more power in a warm hug than in a thousand words. We believe that what we do is not what truly defines us, but why we do it. We believe that we all need to belong. That this is only achieved through common values shared in community. That once we belong, we’re free and can truly learn and grow. That the purpose of growth is to discover our gifts and that our gifts are meant to be given and shared. That we find the most fulfillment when we contribute our gifts to a greater purpose. A purpose bigger than ourselves. A purpose that can only be reached together. A purpose focused on others. That is why we do what we do. Because this is not our job. This is our passion. This is who we are. We are a community focused on others. We are Shoot & Share.
