Crave Locally is inviting Virginia photographers to join a growing creative community passionate about capturing the beauty of the state’s countryside — from vineyards and breweries to farms, markets, main streets, and farm-to-table experiences. That’s why we’re building a space where local talent can shine.

Through our platform, you’ll have the chance to feature your work on venues’ profiles, reach new audiences, and help visitors discover authentic local art. In addition, as the community grows, we’ll create new ways for photographers to connect, collaborate, and showcase their work across Virginia’s wine country.

Why Join?

• Be featured: We’ll credit you on winery, brewery, farm and hotel profiles viewed by travelers and locals.
• Get discovered: Your work will reach venue owners, event organizers, and small businesses looking for local photography.
• Get spotlighted: We highlight selected photographers through our blog and social channels, so your art receives the visibility it deserves.
• Stay connected: You’ll be the first to know about upcoming shoots, collaborations, and creative events.

“What We’re Looking For”

Photographers who love to capture:

• Virginia’s vineyards & wineries
• Farms, orchards, and country roads
• Local food & farm-to-table restaurants
• Small-town life: markets, festivals, hidden gems
• Lifestyle moments: families, couples, dogs, harvests

How It Works” (light and flexible)

1. Fill out the form below. Tell us a bit about yourself and share your portfolio or Instagram.
2. We’ll reach out to connect. Once we review your work, we’ll get in touch to learn more about your style and discuss upcoming opportunities.
3. Collaborate and get featured. We’ll invite you to contribute images for winery and farm profiles. As our platform expands, you’ll have the opportunity to showcase and sell* your work directly to visitors looking for authentic local art.
