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 Tulsa .

  • 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.

    Title or Location: Statesboro, South Carolina
    I was at a rest area and I thought to capture some landscape photos. I walked over by a tree and saw this magnificent blue butterfly so I ran back to my truck to grab my extension tubes and Speedlite. I walked over to the same tree and I was about to get a macro shot of the butterfly when I saw this wasp. He was acting a bit odd so I put some water out for him. He flew down to the cap to the water bottle and then flew back up. I had no idea he still had water that he was drinking. I took 10 shot

    I had just gotten a Sigma 50-500 lens. I couldn't wait to take a picture with it. This is the first picture I took with it and it was in my back yard. The squirrel was pretty far away, but that lens was amazing. I never noticed that squirrels had little holes under their ears until I shot this image! I moved to Tulsa last year, and I'm looking forward to finding interesting things to shoot!

    I use photography to help with my mental health and I love capturing the Chimpanzees and most primates due to how expressive they are. Many of my images that I post (like this one) are to represent how I am feeling at that moment in time.

    Title or Location: Cromwell Bottom Nature Reserve
    This is a shot of one of the many species (over 300 types in the uk) of long legged fly. These are predatory and this particular one is about 5mm long. Shot taken with a lumix g9 and 45mm macro lens using a flash and diffuser. Ive loved bugs my whole life and recently switched to macro due to the smaller gear and my ill health stopping me carrying larger gear. I love that there is a whole world in a bush.
