We run two hour photography sessions based on a photography theme/technique/style and they take place in various locations in Wichita .

  • 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.

    I really enjoyed the class, Jesse made some provided good information and suggestions. The only drawback was because of Riverfest the streets had a lot of cones, signs and fences often blocking what could have been good shots.

    Hand out was very useful. Riverfest area prevented is from walking the predetermined route. It was very enjoyable walking around with other photographers, seeing how they looked at a scene, trying some different techniques.

    Kelly Smith
    Hello! My name is Kelly, and I love taking photos! My favorite subject to photograph is horses, but I've also done a few senior portraits, weddings, and I really enjoy doing still life photos as well. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Digital Photography in 2019 with the intention of becoming a horse show photographer, but that plan went out the door thanks to Covid. So instead, I've spent the last several years working on my eye and honing my craft. I look forward to spending time with other photographers!

    Title or Location: Wichita, KS
    This image is part of a larger series that will likely outlive me. A search for beauty in the small, quiet things most people pass without noticing.On this particular day, I wanted to photograph balance.These parmesan and red pepper shakers sat patiently on a table in downtown Wichita?s Old Chicago: light and dark, comfort and heat, subtlety and intensity existing side by side in quiet equilibrium.Sometimes balance doesn?t announce itself loudly. Sometimes it?s just waiting on a tab

    Title or Location: Orange Beach, Alabama
    We were on vacation to Orange Beach, Alabama in June 2018. I had just started taking photography classes the previous year. As I was sitting on the condo patio, I had an image in my mind. I took my sunglasses and propped them up on my beach hat so I could get the reflection of the beach in the lens of the sunglasses. It turned out exactly how I had imagined. It?s fun to try different things with photography.

    Driving through the backroads of McPherson county has become a favorite place of mine. Sensitive Briars can be found growing along side the dirt road. Their beauty caught my eye.

    4/23/26 McPherson, KS looking E/SELeaving my granddaughter?s music program on April 23rd, I couldn't look away from the sky. The clouds were breathtaking, but they weren't just a pretty view?they were a warning.I drove to a field south of McPherson to capture the contrast: the quiet, new life of the wheatfields against a horizon of destructive storm clouds. These storms went on to produce large hail, damaging winds and even a couple of tornado warnings."Dangerously Beautiful" kept circling

    Title or Location: Horton Iris Farm
    I enjoyed a photowalk event with Laurie Gallant and the Sacramento Photography group visiting Horton's Iris Farm. I always bring my Infrared camera with me in hopes of getting some good IR shots. When I saw the old red truck, I HAD to shoot it in IR! This is one of my favorite shots from that day and will go into my portfolio for sure!

    Title or Location: Circular Quay Sydney Australia
    I was on holiday in Sydney and I went to Circular Quay to take some night time photos, when I saw that the opera house was lit up. I took a couple of photos ,then went to change my lens.By the time I had done this I saw the lights on the opera house had gone out. I then realised it was a rehearsal for Vivid a Sydney winter light show which takes place around the harbour.

    During the visit to the Moonlit Sanctuary Park I entered the reptiles hut and spotted this baby croc floating with only the eyes emerging from the water. It seemed just like the adult ones I had seen in Queensland, so I tried to recreate the situation as in the wild.Happy about the result.Shot with Canon RP and Canon RF 85mm f:2.
