The Exeter Phoenix Camera Group is a monthly social meet-up for anyone keen on photography who has some experience, or may have been on the beginners course and would like to keep in contact with like minded enthusiasts.

Prior to joining the group, participants should be able to use the manual features of their camera, off the automatic mode. As a group you will be spending some time taking pictures together during the session on a particular theme. There will also be an opportunity to share images taken between sessions and any projects participants are individually working on. Support is given both technically and aesthetically by photography tutor Vanessa Miles and also fellow members.

Places limited to 8 per session so early booking is advisable.

Group attendees get 10% off all food and hot drinks at the Café Bar.

We offer a range of film production courses covering scriptwriting, cinematography, sound, editing and visual effects; please do take a look at the full programme of courses available.
