Photo walks and workshops in the UK and beyond. Start as strangers. End as friends — swapping numbers and planning the next one.
See where we've walkedThere's a difference between watching and belonging. After the course, a real tutor's still there to help. When you have a question, a member who's been here longer often answers first.
We've been built that way since 2012, and we're not changing it because the rest of the internet went the other way.

Deborah joined iPhotography in 2018. She wanted to take, in her words, "something better than just snapshots" — to understand her camera and stop relying on auto mode. Years on, she's working in manual, entering competitions, and submitting her photographs for publication.
As Deborah puts it: "I've been lucky enough to have some published, and I don't think without the confidence iPhotography has provided I would ever have felt I'd be able to do something like that."
"Even when you're new, the feedback is always to help you improve. It's never to belittle or make fun of your photographs. It's such a friendly community."
"You are a brilliant teacher, Chris Sale, and the landscape course modules were so inspiring and well put together. I do feel I've learned a great deal."
"Thanks for all your help on the Malham walk. I now feel like I can move away from auto and be less scared to use manual."
"The courses made me join and learn. The gallery helped me improve. The FB group improved my confidence. The Critiques honed my skills, and the competitions really showed me what good looked like."
"Have confidence in what you create. iPhotography gives you that confidence."

Yes. Photography for Beginners is the most-joined course we run, and most members who start it are picking up their first DSLR or mirrorless. The free 60 Second Photographer is gentler still — thirty lessons of one minute each, about thirty minutes in total. In fact, all our courses are designed with beginners in mind — even the specialist ones start from the basics and build up. You don't need any experience to start.
No. Compact, bridge, DSLR, mirrorless — the courses work with whatever you've got, as long as you can change the settings (aperture, shutter speed, ISO). Gear is the smallest part of the puzzle. We teach the photographer, not the camera.
A course is a one-off purchase you keep forever — structured lessons, assigned work, tutor feedback, lifetime access, no expiry. PLUS+ is the monthly membership on top: Photo Review videos broadcast every two weeks, live streams, priority tutor replies, members-only contests. Most start with a course; many stay through PLUS+.
Yes. Every assessed assignment in Photography for Beginners is reviewed by an iPhotography tutor — written notes on what's working and what to try next. PLUS+ members get regular tutor feedback on the photos they upload to the gallery. We've been built that way since 2012.
Yes — every paid course is lifetime access, no expiry. Some work through Photography for Beginners in a few weeks, others take longer. The club's pace is the member's pace.
Online — built in the UK, with members across the UK, US, Canada, Australia, and beyond. The courses work wherever you are — and we have workshops all over the world too.
The 60 Second Photographer is where most members start. Thirty lessons, one minute each. No card needed.
