Melbourne Photography Group      Melbourne

The Melbourne Photography Group is a regular, fortnightly social gathering for people who share a passion for photography and want to practise their skills. It gives you the chance to meet up with other photographers, trade tips and build friendships. Each two hour class will focus on one theme or particular aspect of photography, in a different location each fortnight. A professional photographer will also be there to help answer questions and offer advice on the day. Groups larger than 12 will have multiple instructors.

Please note that this event is a social meet up (not a formal class) and is best suited to photographers who want the opportunity to explore different photography topics every fortnight and know how to use their cameras on manual mode (not total beginners). If you are after a more structured educational experience, Photoh also offers a Photography for Beginners course that is conducted in a smaller group, so you have more opportunity to interact with your instructor one-on-one.

The minimum age requirement is 10 years old; children under 14 need to be accompanied by an adult, who will need to make a separate booking. General attendance costs $35, but may occasionally be higher if a model, studio hire or special equipment is required.

A DSLR camera, or a camera with manual controls is preferable, but you are welcome to bring bring any kind of camera or smartphone. There will be a substantial amount of walking involved on the day, so please wear comfortable shoes and bring an umbrella should the weather call for it.

Your experience doesn’t stop once the class ends - you can share your photos with your peers on the Photoh Facebook wall and in the Melbourne Photography Facebook Group and enter our fortnightly themed competitions to have chances to win great photography prizes.

Helped me to think outside the box, which I am trying to do. It gave me lots of ideas for when I go on holiday what to look for. These groups are also slowly helping me understand what kind of photos I take and am comfortable with.

I really enjoyed the event and the guided ideas for framing photos. The beach venue was great for taking people photos as everyone was doing the same. We were so Icky with the weather. You could outline what time the event was planned to end I assumed after 2 hours and had planned to leave by 12.

I liked the relaxed atmosphere, the opportunity to meet others interested in photography as well as having experts on hand for questions. I also like the focus on a particular photography style so you could choose sessions to fit your need. Thank you Steph and Kate.

Took me right back to basics - think, visualise, compose, then click. Steph and Kate were excellent mentors, assisting and encouraging.

I loved this event, I love being able to walk around in a group and not fell like a perve. I like being given assignments, and I am really happy with my end results. Great day! The venue was great too, lots of parking and things to see.

I found this theme of abstract challenging but I still enjoyed it. The venue was great. Easy to get to via public transport. Thanks Kate and Matt for sharing your expertise once more and challenging us to think outside the box.
