The Manchester 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. Beginners are welcome.
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.
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.
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 also share your photos with your peers in the Manchester Photography Facebook Group and enter our fortnightly themed competitions to have chances to win great photography prizes.

Great instructor. Stimulated creative juices in awful weather conditions. Grey and wet. The challenges were fun and helped structure the session. The 2 hours flew by!
