We have a different photo theme each fortnight and the two hour sessions take place in different outdoor locations across Perth. Great opportunity to try something new with the guidance of a professional photographer, and come away with some new shots for your portfolio or album.

Complete beginner? We recommend starting with the Photography for Beginners Class, which is a 3 hour structured workshop where you’ll learn the basics of using your camera with more 1-on-1 time with the instructor.

Looking to learn more? Come along to the group sessions, which are more casual and informal than other workshops, and with more time to take photos and put your new skills into practice.

What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!

What’s involved? Each session starts with an introduction to the fortnight’s theme, and the photography instructor will chat about the camera settings and techniques to use. You’ll then have time to take lots of photos, with the instructor present to answer any questions. You’ll receive feedback and have a chance to chat with everyone to share tips and ideas. We’re a social bunch!

Join the Perth Photography Facebook Group here to share your photos after the session and to take part in our free, fortnightly competitions!

Experimenting with Light in Photography - John Oldham Park - 9.30am-11.30am - 2 hours

Cameras are (put simply) just boxes (expensive ones!) that record the light in front of the lens. So why not have fun with it? Chuck aside the rule book in this session, as we’ll be playing with all sorts of ways to creatively manipulate light for some interesting effects. This is a great session to come along to if you’ve been feeling a bit stuck in a rut lately!

Playing with Reflections in Photography - Perth CBD - 9.30am-11.30am - 2 hours

As well as mirroring, reflections can be used to skew, distort and play with the viewer's perception of a photo. We'll be getting creative with capturing reflections in this session, and mixing in a few different photography styles such as abstract, surrealist and photographing water. Come along to have a go at something a bit different!
