Palace Park Photography Meet-Up (Crystal Palace)

We are happy to continue our regular monthly photography meet-up for artists and photographers in South London at the Phoenix Community Center in Crystal Palace. This group will be suitable for beginners, emerging talent and intermediate practitioners who wish to expand their photography or lens-based practice.
This group will be led and guided, yet invites self-determination and participation, with a vision for the group to develop its own goals, both personal as well as a group ambition, which could be working towards a small exhibition or a publication.
There will be taught elements, as well as ample time to bring your work-in-progress for regular feedback and group discussion. Everybody’s suggestions for particular themes that you would like us to cover are welcome.
Meetings will take place about monthly, on Wednesday evenings 7pm-9pm, (the third Wednesday of each month), with a summer and a Christmas break. In April and May there will be a seperate offer (see the seperate event 'Street Photography') Sessions can be booked individually, the fee is 20£ per session. Please see the dates below:
