Photography Group sessions are not physically strenuous, but involve a substantial amount of walking and standing on the day.

Please contact us if you or a friend:

The Photography Group team will do its best to ensure that the course is suited to your capabilities.

Meetups, sessions, and classes vary in cost based on the number of people attending, the length of the class, and if there are any additional costs such models or special equipment.

The typical meetup/session costs $35, runs for 2 hours, and has up to 12 people.

The typical class costs $115, runs for 3 hours, and has up to 6 people.

Classes often book out, and in these cases we unfortunately cannot squeeze extra people in.

There is no waiting list as people rarely cancel.

If you are very interested in a particular topic, please let us know and if there is enough interest we'll run it again.

We love to hear ideas for meetups. If enough people let us know they are interested in a particular topic we can usually organise it.

Try posting to the group to gauge interest, and if there are 6 or more people who would like to attend we should be able to arrange a special session.

Meetup dates are published on the homepage, ideally quite a few months in advance.

If none are listed it's because we are in the process of organising dates. Subscribe to the newsletter and we'll let you know by email as soon as the next date is confirmed.

Occasionally we need to cancel a class, usually due to bad weather, or an instructor falling ill at the very last minute.

When this occurs you will be notified via email and text, and the class will be rescheduled for another time. You will also be given the option of a refund.

If bad weather is forecast your meetup (if being held outdoors) may be cancelled and you will be notified by email and text.

How long beforehand the event is officially cancelled depends on the forecast.

If it's very severe weather it will probably be cancelled a few days before.

If it looks like the weather may improve we'll leave it until the last minute. A bad forecast turns sunny surprisingly often.

Meetups and classes are held in different locations, depending on the topic.

How long it takes for your post to be published in the Facebook group depends on a number of factors.

Usually if you post a few times without breaking the rules you'll be given pre-approval and your posts will appear in the group as soon as you submit them.

Admin runs to approve new members and posts are usually done at least once every two days. Please be patient (and polite), and be aware than the group admin cannot be in the group 24/7.

Yes. All events require a booking so that the professional instructor can be paid for their time and skill.

Bookings must be made prior to the event, and cannot be made on the day. Bookings usually close between 1 and 24 hours beforehand, depending on the instructor, topic, and location.

Please do not attend an event without booking first, as you will be turned away.

Classes and meetups often sell out, so please book early to be guaranteed a place.

Cancellations with a full refund can be made up to 5 days before the event, and rescheduling up to 2 days.

A single booking can be rescheduled a maximum of 3 times.
