ProductCamp Atlanta 2025
A Community Seen Through the Lens
Last week I had the privilege of photographing ProductCamp Atlanta 2025 — an unconference built by and for the product, UX and tech community. I wasn’t on the official roster, but I stepped in as the volunteer photographer for the day. What I walked into was more than an event. It was a community with heart.
From the moment I arrived, people welcomed me as if I had been part of their circle for years. My friend Allison Herbert was the one who first extended the invitation, and I’m grateful she did. Throughout the day, Jason Brett, Kelly Brett, Minesh Patel, Jerry Odenwelder, Dave Mathias, Rob Leary and Devin Smith carried the energy of hosts who truly care — calm, thoughtful and fully present. That tone carried through every session, every hallway conversation and every moment in between.
ProductCamp is built on collaboration, curiosity and shared ownership. As a photographer, those qualities show up in ways the camera naturally loves: real expressions, animated discussions, laughter, quiet note-taking and ideas sparking mid-sentence. I tried to honor that honesty in every frame.
Events like this don’t happen without support, so a heartfelt thank-you to this year’s sponsors — PrizePicks, Hirewell, ADP, Meaningful AI, CoStar Group, Option 1 Partners, SCADshow, Vidnova, Beyond The Outbox and Summit Coffee. Their presence helped create the space we all stepped into.
I sorted through more than a thousand images — some good, some not so much — and pulled together a collection that reflects the spirit of the day. This is my small way of saying thank you to a community that embraced me with such generosity. Atlanta, you showed up beautifully — and it was an honor to capture it.
