Meet Mecca
I'm Mecca Clarke – photographer, creative entrepreneur, and founder of Blk Girls Shoot.
After years of being one of the only Black women in creative spaces, I wanted to build something that felt different. Something intentional. Something that centered us fully – not as an afterthought, but as the standard.
What started as a small creative meetup has grown into a conference weekend bringing together Black women photographers from all over to learn, connect, and build together.
BGS keeps growing because the need for spaces like this is still real. And I'm really excited for what we're building in 2026.
The Community
Blk Girls Shoot started because too many of us were showing up to shoots, sets, conferences, and creative spaces as the only one in the room.
So we created our own.
BGS brings Black women photographers together for a weekend that's equal parts education, community, creativity, and business. This isn't about surface-level networking or sitting quietly in the back of a panel. It's about getting in the room, learning in real time, building relationships, and leaving better than you came.
Every year the community gets bigger. Every year the work gets better. And every year the room feels exactly like what we deserved all along.
