About Community Collage:
Community Collage is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Our mission is to bring people together through transformative photography experiences that celebrate both individual identity and collective connection. We create immersive pop-up photo studio events where participants are not just photographed but are made to feel part of something bigger—a vibrant, inclusive community. With professional photographers, high-energy environments, and a fun, dynamic atmosphere, we foster moments of joy, self-expression, and unity. With every event, we aim to break down barriers, inspire connections, and build a shared narrative that transcends borders—whether it’s a local community, a corporation, or a global organization. Our goal is to create memorable, impactful experiences that amplify our shared humanity, one snapshot at a time.
