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 around Wolverhampton.

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 Wolverhampton Photography Facebook Group here to share your photos after the session.

Our classes and photography sessions are limited to a max of 5 students - due to current COVID restrictions

We ask that everyone attending a meetup follows social distancing guidelines:

Stay home if you're sick.

Keep 2 metres away from others.

Don't make unnecessary physical contact with others. Avoid physical greetings, such as handshakes, hugs and kisses.

Wash your hands regularly with alcohol-based sanitiser.

Cover your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze. Use a flexed elbow or a tissue.

Another great meet, despite the weather, learnt a lot today and really enjoyed, photographing flowers with bounced light, as always Mike is courteous, patient and professional, look forward to more meets.

Mike Tolfree, did a very good introduction to depth of feild. Something I have previously struggled with. He is most engaging and helpful. I am already looking to book on more courses run by him.

I really enjoyed Wedding Photography workshop. Mike is an excellent tutor, he created a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere, and shared with us a good piece of knowledge. The only minus were the models who let us down by not turning up as arranged but Mike did everything to carry on with the workshop, and even posing for us :-)

I found it a useful event in spite of the fact that the models didn't attend. The venue was perfect for a wedding shoot.
