ABOUT AUGUSTA
PHOTOGRAPHY
GROUP
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 Augusta.

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

    It was a good class. Next time, meeting at Gazebo and maybe use slides or visual rep to talk about the different things that affect image quality.

    Steve says...very informative and well delivered. I learned a lot about my camera and taking manual photos. It was hard to remain standing for the entire class time, though.

    Ryan Phillips
    I'm a local photographer in Augusta, Georgia that loves wildlife and nature. I appreciate all genres of photography and try to get out with my camera as much as I possibly can. I love waking up early before the rest of the world is up to get beautiful sunrise photos. I also love meeting new people and being part of the Augusta photography community!

    Ryan Phillips is available for private bookings

    Available mostly on Sundays. Maybe Saturdays if schedule permits.

    I had returned to the parking lot with my photography friends and decide that I had time to go back down the boardwalk to look for a Prothonotary Warbler. As I entered the wooded area leading to the boardwalk, i heard a call and saw a small bird fly to a nearby branch. I recognized it as a Hooded Warbler and fired off several shots. it was a lifer for me.

    Planted Zinnias and lots of them this year in my backyard for the butterflies, bees and even hummingbirds. Ive got to see several different kinds and thought this Gulf fritillary fit with this color beyond any other color, Also the position how it landed was spot on for the perfect photo.

    I was driving around after sunset in Mid-February and came upon The Jekyll Island Warf Restaurant which was currently closed for remodeling. I thought the view was beautiful and wanted to snap this for my memories of my vacation. So I grabbed my Nikon camera and snapped this shot.

    This was one of those shots where you'd rather be lucky than good. I wanted a silhouette of the sea oats at sunrise, and when I went to review the photos later noticed I had captured this bug landing on one of the fronds.

    Title or Location: Bald Head Island, North Carolina, USA
    This blossom was on a small Magnolia tree sheltered from the wind and weather on Bald Head Island. When I spied this blossom the sun light was beginning to illuminate the petals. Time time spent waiting for the pictorial moment gave me time to more deeply appreciate the beauty of this transient blossom. Taken with a Nikon D850, tripod, 70-200 in close distance. Single image-no stacking.

    Title or Location: The Oregon Zoo
    The Oregon Zoo is a symphony of colors, a vibrant tapestry of life from every corner of the world. But on that particular day, it was the intrigue of the flamingo exhibit that caught my attention. As I approached, camera in hand, the light was perfectly casting a glow on the water as the flamingos glided along. Among the flock, one particular bird stood out. It approached me with an equal curiosity as I. It captured me as I captured it. The result, I believe, speaks for itself. It's more than ju

    Title or Location: Animal Ark Wildlife Sanctuary
    Gracie is one of our North American Black bears that we have rescued. A private owner kept her as a pet, illegally when she was a cub. She was confiscated by NDOW and was brought to us 19 years ago. Now, she is living her best life with all the love and care she could ask for. I took the photo while assisting with her care that day.
