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 Derry .

  • 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 Derry Photography Group on Facebook to share your photos after the session.

    The beginner photography class was very informative and engaging. I appreciated how the concepts were explained in a simple way, especially for complete beginners like myself. The hands-on practice helped me better understand my camera settings, composition, and how to use my camera more confidently.

    I found the event very informative and Conor was a very patient and good class tutor. I certainly left feeling more confident about my camera and how to use it.

    I could hear the grasshopper all the while I was in that part of the grounds and eventually decided to try and find it. I took the pic and knew it was gonna be a keeper but never did I think it would be like this. I've never managed anything close since.

    Title or Location: Killaloo Woods
    I'm an amateur nature photographer who spent weeks in Killaloe Woods trying to photograph kingfishers. When I couldn't find them, I shifted my focus. One day, I spotted what seemed to be a bumblebee, but it turned out to be a delicate husk. I placed it on a stump and captured a unique image. Since it's Northern Ireland, I had to touch up the photoenhancing the colors, adjusting exposure, and reducing hazeto bring out its best.

    Title or Location: In Lynnwood by the parking lot of my apartment
    I was soaking in the sun on a beautiful day with my camera and zoom lens when i spotted the dragon fly on the antenna of a car parked car close to my apartment. The vivid colors and the beauty of the moment was no lost on me and i immediately zoomed in with my Tamron 70-300mm lens. I was glad the dragonfly was in no hurry to fly away. I was all smiles when i looked at the end result. The bokeh effect and beauty of the dragonfly. My camera settings were SON

    Title or Location: Pencils
    This picture was taken by a large window, three pencils (RGB coloured) were laid on white card which was curved up in the distance, but the curve cannot be discerned due to the very shallow depth of field and even light, giving the impression of infinity into the distance ...
