Upcoming Events

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 Albany.

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

Elissa Ebersold

Elissa is an award-winning music photographer, music journalist, and graphic designer based in New York's Capital District. She's been taking pictures every since she was a child, but it was only until after she suffered a life-altering injury that she found her niche in the music world as a way to push her physical limits. As a photographer and designer, she's been featured in both print & digital magazines, and has even had photographs appear as single artwork on the Billboard Charts.

An avid fan of long road trips and world travel, she is ruled by her three cats, Jupiter, Loki & Zeus, and has way too many plush blankets and vintage cameras.
