Over the last few years I have been to a handful of photography meet ups and left each one feeling inspired and overwhelmed by the amazing humans I’ve had the joy of spending time with. Last year, the marvellous Michael Savage and I co-hosted our first UK meet up for the Let’s Get Creative project, and for any other photographers who fancied joining the fun.

We originally intended to head to Cannock Chase, but feeling uncertain as to who may arrive later on and whether they’d find us, and due to the lack of bus info at the station, we instead wandered through a rather photogenic nature reserve armed with the world’s most incredible picnic and several smoke bombs. What started as a group of mostly strangers quickly became a group of friends. It wasn’t long before we were wading through a stream, climbing trees and throwing talc around (what can I say…artists are wild).

Thank you to everyone who came to the Cannock meet up. I had an amazing day and I hope you all did too.

To anyone hoping to join future photography gatherings, keep a lookout on my facebook page - there will be more!!

And a few favourites of the more candid pictures I took throughout the day, just because :]
