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.
Latest Updates.
Social Get Together. Our next get together will be on Saturday 13th December. This will be a social catch up for members who can make it and a chance to think about what we want to do next year. All members welcome.
Next Assignment. Any member who would like to suggest a theme or skill for our next assignment please just let me know.
Assignments
Patterns.
This assignment invited members to explore the world of pattern. These could be natural patterns found in nature or others found around the home or within architectural buildings. Although this assignment seems simple, some of us found it quite challenging. Like any assignment, sometimes you find yourself in the right place or environment to capture the images you want whilst at other times you have to go out and search for the images you want.

Wifie Workshops offer members the chance to meet up and explore ideas together. This workshop was held at Port Seton and gave members a chance to explore the area and capture some amazing shots around this small harbour.
