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.
EXHIBITION VISIT. Our next get together will be on Saturday 29th November. We will be going to see the exhibition at Modern Two, Resistance. All members welcome and further details will be sent out nearer the time.
Next Assignment. The next assignment will be all about pattern. Wifie members are invited to explore this theme and present a photo or set of photos depicting pattern within nature or pattern found within constructed buildings or objects. Deadline is 30th November.
Workshop at Port Seton harbour.
Wifie members had a lovely day out at Port Seton where we decided to explore the harbour concentrating on colour and shape within compositional elements. We started the session looking at Depth of Field and focal point as well as the exposure triangle. The theme was then shared with all members so that those who couldn't make the workshop could also take part. Have a look at these fabulous images.

Wifie Workshops offer members the chance to meet up and explore ideas together and this workshop took us to the beautiful seaside area of Portobello. It was lovely to meet new members and to challenge ourselves with doing some street photography.

Previous Assignment.
Our last assignment invited Wifie members to create abstract images. Creating abstract images can be great fun but it isn't always as easy as you might think. If you want to have a look at what members created just click on the abstract image done by Molly.
