Imagine a world where you are surrounded by doing the things you love, and have created a world in which you were able to grow a business that not only allowed you to create beautiful pieces of photography, but to help others learn and use photography for their own benefit. This is our world. Xavier and I are not just photographers. Xavier is also an inventor and runs XP PhotoGear, and he’s also a photographic instructor at Photos On The Vine.
Each division of the business we run is photography based. If he’s not inventing it and selling it to camera stores, he’s teaching it to other local photographers, or we are photographing and creating art pieces for others.
Today, I’d like to introduce you to the other half of XanZo Gallery, which is Photos On The Vine…
Photos On The Vine was established in June 2016. At that time, we were meeting at different wine bars in the area. We would have a social time together with drinks and appetizers for about 45 minutes and then go out and do a photo walk around the area we were located at. The photo walk would include extensive instruction on how we were using lighting and taking the photograph. We stumbled upon our commercial property by chance that we turned into Photos On The Vine in November 2016. We decided on a regular location in a historic neighborhood where attendees could BYOB and attend regular classes from Basic Photography to Photoshop and Editing. This commercial location also granted us a beautiful studio in which we use for XanZo Gallery studio portraits and consultations.
It is so wonderful to be able to use our skills to bless the lives of others through our photography and also now extend that on to teaching others about photography. If you have a digital camera and would like to learn how to take better pictures, please visit Photos On The Vine to see our upcoming classes.
Photos On The Vine is located in Historic Handley, Fort Worth commonly known as Handley Wedding District. There are great antique shops, a yummy bakery and I hear a new Cat Café is on the way.
