Welcome to WIFIE
Wifie is an independent photography group for women living in and around Edinburgh. Members of Wifie meet to participate in workshops and visit exhibitions. During these informal meetings the group are able to discuss ideas or explore the issues raised by the work of other artists as well as being able to share knowledge, ideas and experiences within the group.
Wifie provides women with an opportunity to;
Learn new skills in photography or extend existing skills
Meet up for workshops or to visit exhibitions
Participate in exhibitions and photography projects.
Use photography to explore issues relating to gender, power and social politics
To network with other women's projects across Scotland

Wifie (Women In Focus In Edinburgh) is a collective for women who are interested in photography and would like to share their passion and ideas with other women. We would normally meet about once a month where we would take part in a workshop or visit an exhibition. Members would then be invited to create some of their own work in response to these events.
New Events or Recent Projects
Passion 2020. Cutting Edge Theatre invited Wifie to take part in a planned event during Easter 2020. The event didn't take place because of COVID-19. A much smaller event will take place this year and members have created an installation for the Porty Lightbox that will be on display during the Easter period.
Lockdown Assignment. Urban Photography
Although things are improving a bit regarding COVID-19 Wifie members are still not meeting up on a regular basis. However, we were able to run a recent camera workshop in Leith to explore the world of 'Urban Photography'. Street Photography and Urban Photography are for many people the same thing but for others there can be subtle differences and we felt this a worthwhile project to explore.
This assignment is still open for members to send in their photos.

In the Spotlight
This space is for members to share the photographs they have taken which reflect their interests and achievements in their chosen field of photography. It is also a chance for them to tell us a bit about their photographic journey. Wifie members have different interests and skills, which might not always suit the projects or assignments we are given so it's nice to celebrate the varied ideas and styles that each member brings to our group.
Olga Gunn
My passion for photography has started since I've joined Instagram. I was taking photos of nature and editing them with different apps. I love the idea to create a completely different mood in my shots by adding some extra images like rain or a silhouette of a person. I've tried to tell a story with my work. The story which the viewer can complete with their own imagination.

Lockdown Assignments
While we are unable to meet up for workshops or to visit exhibitions Wifie members have been concentrating on building their camera skills by participating in regular assignments and using WhatsApp to share their photos. These assignments have included a variety of different topics from composition and negative space to the weather and shadows.
