Come along to our photo sessions to dust off your camera and get snap-happy with a professional photography instructor.

Brush up on your camera skills and learn new photography techniques whilst on a photo walk class with other local keen photographers!

We run two hour photography sessions based on a photography theme/technique/style and they take place in various locations in Wellington .

  • New to photography? We also run a popular 3 hour Beginners Guide to Photography Class once a month. And once in a while we will run special niche 3 hour classes, for example, Astrophotography - so do subscribe to our newsletter to know when the next on is!

  • Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from beginners to keen amateurs. The photography instructor is there to help you with camera settings and provide any advice you need.

  • 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!

    The meeting point and full details for the day are sent in the booking confirmation email to the email address you provide at time of booking.

    Join the Wellington Photography Group on Facebook to share your photos after the session.

    It was money well spent. Stephanie is a great teacher, she took time to ensure that everyone kept up with what was going on. She listened and responded to the direction that the people in the class were going. She provided great information in an understandable format with great illustrations on the best way to do things

    Awesome. The tutor, Stephanie, had undertaken significant research to work out the best vantage points for landscape photography. We covered, and practiced, a range of camera settings to get the best shots. I learnt lots and would certainly undertake more workshops.

    They're even more formidable in person, as was the heat! Was 38deg and 100 humidity when I was there. A rude shock to the 12deg when I flew out of Welly. You can actually feel them sway on the top floors.

    Title or Location: Waimanu Lagoons, Waikanae Beach, Kapiti Coast, New Zealand
    This beautiful Eastern great egret(aka White heron, kotuku) has been resident at the Waikanae estuary for about four months. It is likely that it will fly south to the breeding area at Okarito before too long but, until then, it continues to provide wonderful opportunities for people to observe and photograph this majestic bird as it moves around the lagoon edges.
