How to Jam:
Open Photo Jam in your browser or download the app.
1. Make yourself at home.
Create a free account. Explore the gallery and monthly theme. See what inspires you.
2. Save your seat.
Register for a 60-minute Zoom Jam and upload up to three photos you’d like to share. Phone or camera, old favorites or new discoveries—it’s all welcome. Your facilitator will choose one for discussion.
3. Join us.
On Thursday night, return to your Jam in Photo Jam for the Zoom link. Meet a small group of kind, curious humans.
Then the fun begins.
While your photo is on screen, listen as the group shares what they notice, appreciate, and connect with. Then the floor is yours. Tell us its story—or simply keep listening. Share as much or as little as you like. There’s no pressure to speak.
No contests. No judgment. No politics.
That’s the magic.

What the Jammers have to say. ..
"The most kind and uplifting community to share your photography and get inspired by others’. Lessons you can explore at your own pace, challenges that encourage experimentation and cause you to think and create with a fresh perspective. This is the place I go when I feel stagnant. Instant inspiration. Like magic!"
—Julie M.
“Photo Jam is genius. Full stop. Not only is the program innovative and impeccably designed — you learn, you think, you marvel — but you have the opportunity to spend time with like minded people. People who share their art and thoughtfully respond to yours. Photo Jam gave me an audience and a playground where I can grow as a photographer.”
—Jammer, Gigi S.
