Description

Join us for a taster of our “Meet and Make for Wellbeing – Photography” course.

This friendly and relaxed session is all about connecting with others, enjoying creativity, and supporting your wellbeing through photography. Using your camera or phone, you'll explore simple ways to take photos while sharing ideas and experiences in a welcoming group environment.

We'll gently introduce a few helpful techniques such as light, composition and noticing everyday details — but the focus isn't on getting things “perfect.” Instead, it's about slowing down, being present, and enjoying the process of making something creative together.

Whether you're completely new to photography or just looking for a positive and social activity, this session offers a chance to try something different, build confidence, and meet new people.
