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 Macon.

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

    I enjoyed the event on Sunday. I learned a lot about the functions of many of the dials on my camera which I handy understood prior to to the class. The instructor spent the appropriate amount of time with me during the class. He was particularly patient in explaining which allowed me to learn but understand. Unfortunately it rained which placed some limitations on what we could do. Overall I enjoyed the class.

    Michael Lemay was a truly impressive teacher. His knowledge of photography is unmatched. He discussed the science of photography from its infancy to what it has become in our now technology-driven age. He also covered all the features of the modern digital camera and how to use them to express what you see through the camera lens. I'm a wannaba amateur photographer and have done some research in the photography field. Mr. LeMay has given me a better understanding of the mechanics of photography. I hope I get the chance to learn more from him in another class in the future. I highly recommend this beginner's photography class taught by Michael LeMay.

    Title or Location: Coleman Hill in downtown historic Macon, GA
    I rented a 35mm 1.2 lens and took a stroll through downtown Macon on a blustery afternoon. This time of year, the Japanese Magnolias at Coleman Hill are in full bloom?absolutely stunning and incredibly fragrant. You can catch their sweet scent from several feet away.I shot mostly wide open at 1.2 with an ISO of 50, and with the wind whipping those blooms around, some frames had to be captured at 1/8000 of a second! Totally worth it to freeze that beauty in motion. &127800&128247

    Title or Location: This Still Life Photograph of "Grapes, Strawberry's and Wine" was taken in my bedroom in Orange County California.
    This image is a Still Life Composition of "Berries, Wine and Grapes" that I created on a rainy day in my bedroom. I used no fancy Studio Lighting at all. My only light source was a hand-held flashlight that I kept moving rapidly. It was an experiment in Light Painting when I couldn't go outside to shoot.
