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.
Next Assignment. A new theme will be coming soon so that we can get off to a good start in 2026.
EXHIBITION for International Women's Day 2026.
Wifie members will be invited to participate in an exhibition for International Women's Day. We are currently looking into possible venues. A workshop will take place on Saturday 17th January. This will be a chance to find out more and decide on what area of interest or theme that we will focus on. All members welcome.

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.

In the Spotlight.....call for participation.
Wifie members are invited to submit photographs for 'In the Spotlight'. This includes members who are new to Wifie and those who have been members for some time. Maybe you have already been part of 'In the Spotlight' but have new work you'd like to share.
This is a space to present your own style of photography, the images that you are passionate about and want to share with others. It's all about you and your creativity. Previous posts are still available to see. In The Spotlight
Maggie's Garden
Maddy has shared with us some of her images taken within Maggie's Garden in the winter. Her project will be exploring the different seasons as she immerses herself in the benefits of being outside and within nature. Her autumn selection is really inspiring and demonstrates colour, shape and texture beautifully.

Lockdown Assignments
While we were unable to meet up for workshops or to visit exhibitions Wifie members have continued to build their camera skills by taking part on our 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.
