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 St Louis .

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

    Ryne was an excellent instructor and workshop leader. He was patient, knowledgeable, and a professional in his craft. The workshop was the right amount of time for the walking involved, and doing the mindful exercises, and critiquing our images for improvement.

    I really enjoyed the event, at which I was the only attendee. Ryne was friendly and helpful and lent me his gloves as I had left home without mine. I learned a lot about being mindful in my photography and look forward to attending more of Ryne's events.

    Title or Location: Tower Grove Park
    I wanted to take my new Z6III and 28-400mm F4-8 lens out for a walk. I saw some flowers and some slow moving bumble bees. While getting bee pics I saw this guy and captured this before he flew away. I wish my shutter was a little faster but the camera performed well with non optimal settings - and a little luck with how small my focus box was.

    We were on a chartered boat excursion and I saw this Heron perched on this post. I asked the boat to turn around so I could get this shot. My favorite subject to photograph is birds. Annoyed the rest of my party, but I?m very pleased with the shot I was able to get.

    Title or Location: Saint Louis Zoo
    I was at the St. Louis Zoo back in early June shooting various zoo animals. I was photographing the zebras when I noticed this robin standing on the wall at the side of the enclosure. It looked like it was posing for me so I snapped this image of him that ended up turning out beautifully. I used a Nikon Z6II and an AFS Nikkor 80-400mm f4.5-5.6G lens. Settings were ISO 500, 400mm, f/10, 1/50 second.

    Title or Location: Tower Grove Park
    I am a wedding and portrait photographer, so this isn?t my normal type of photography. As I was leaving the location for a shoot I was on, I saw this bird fly past me and land in a tree close by and start chirping away. When I found it, I was lucky with the light because there was opening to let a column of light fall on this beautiful bird.

    Title or Location: Edinburgh
    The photo was taken in Edinburgh .In it captures the striking presence of the Tolbooth Kirk, now known as The Hub. Dominating the scene with its towering Gothic spire, the historic structure stands as a testament to the city's rich architectural heritage, conveys the essence of Edinburgh?where history, culture, and atmosphere intertwine. It evokes the unique feeling the city imparts to its visitors: a blend of timeless grandeur and deep-rooted character.
