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.
UPDATE.
WIFIE are currently taking a pause as we look to the future and how we can best deliver an exciting space for women to actively engage in photography. We are hoping that in 2025 we will be meeting new members as well as those who have been with us over the years, to come together to engage in workshops and visit exhibitions. We will also be looking forward to seeing the amazing photos that will be created from these encounters and shared here on our website. Wishing all Wifie members a very happy year ahead.

Why not have a look at one of our previous projects, INSPIRED BY....
In October 2021 Wifie members went to see an exhibition by Thomas Joshua Cooper at The National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh. This exhibition, 'The World's Edge' was really inspirational and many of our members took part in creating their own work inspired by this visit. As part of this project we organised a visit to Port Seton harbour after our visit to the exhibition. On a very cold and wet day we explored the harbour and enjoyed capturing some amazing and dynamic images for this project. |

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.
