duCret Instructor Susan Meyer is a seasoned working professional photographer with over 30 years experience, including 10 years as a Photoshop retoucher. She has opened a duCret meetup group called 'The Art of Photography and Photoshop' and would like to share her years of experience and knowledge of photography with visual image lovers and photographers of the local area. The meetup group is open to all levels, but is geared especially for those who are just starting out or are at the intermediate stage and seek more in-depth instruction. In a series of several continuous workshops, individuals can begin to get a feel for a career or hobby in photography and test the waters before taking a lengthier and more in-depth course in photography. Those inspired at these mini workshops can then take full photography and photoshop courses offered at duCret. 
More advanced photographers will have the opportunity to do advanced shoots and projects with this group involving live models. The group meets at The duCret School of Art in Plainfield, NJ where Susan has taught for over 16 years. 'We are very fortunate to have this wonderful facility to hold our Meetup events', states Susan. It affords the Meetup Group the luxury to have at its disposal a well equipped photography studio and prop room, as well as a state of the art Mac computer lab for our photoshop events. We are always looking for Models and Hair and Makeup artists who are looking to build their portfolios and are willing to pose or provide hair and makeup services on the models for digital images from our membership. This is a very active meetup group with something going on almost every week. The group took hold immediately once launched to the internet several months ago, as there is little or no instruction of this type available in central NJ. Students can learn all aspects of photography including portrait, landscape, shooting stills for the commercial field, action and figure and event photography. 
They learn all aspects of their camera, including studio lighting and lighting in more challenging environments such as events or sporting activities. Serious students are invited on occasion to intern on real jobs. All one has to do is RSVP to any workshop that's listed online. Though the summer season is lighter, there are many repeating workshops for those with tough schedules, thus enabling individuals to learn at their own pace. For those serious about a career in photography, duCret School of Art is currently accepting registration for Fall 2012 Semester, whereas there are several photography and photoshop classes available.
