Come along to our photo sessions to dust off your camera and get snap-happy with a professional photography instructor.

Brush up on your camera skills and learn new photography techniques whilst on a photo walk class with other local keen photographers!

We run two hour photography sessions based on a photography theme/technique/style and they take place in various locations in Ocala.

  • New to photography? We also run a popular 3 hour Beginners Guide to Photography Class once a month. And once in a while we will run special niche 3 hour classes, for example, Astrophotography - so do subscribe to our newsletter to know when the next on is!

  • Who can attend? Open to all skill levels, from beginners to keen amateurs. The photography instructor is there to help you with camera settings and provide any advice you need.

  • What to bring? We recommend bringing a camera that has full manual mode or semi-manual modes (Aperture or Shutter Priority). Compact cameras and smartphones also welcome!

    The meeting point and full details for the day are sent in the booking confirmation email to the email address you provide at time of booking.

    Join the Ocala Photography Group on Facebook to share your photos after the session.

    Kaley is a knowledgeable and engaging instructor. I was able to test out a new prime lens in this particular environment. Both Kaley and the class had many helpful suggestions. These are fun and informative events. I highly recommend.

    My wife and I really enjoyed the style of the class. The experiential learning style was outstanding. We took over 200 photographs. Kaylee was knowledgeable, friendly, and provided both good technical advice and composition tips. Her passion for photography was obvious.

    It was great. Small class a plus because you got the individual attention you needed. Mike was very knowledgeable.

    This was an easy walking photo field trip with a knowledgeable leader. Kaley knew where to look for birds that live in the park, and she knew the sections that attract the birds. I didn't feel I was being managed but rather that I had found a kindred spirit in photography.

    I've been doing installments of a Post Apocalypse Series as a part of my creative journey and this photo was one of those photos. Taken at a remote location at an abandoned phosphate mine. I like to leave viewers with an emotional response of ambiguity and reality that may exist.

    I just got a new camera and lens combo (Z9 & 180-600mm), but have been too busy to get out and really put it through it's paces. So I ventured out into my back yard to see if I could find a willing subject to shoot some test photos. I know the new camera is great, but want make sure the new lens is sharp enough to satisfy me. I hope to use it on a couple of "bucket-list" trips I hope to take in the next few years.There was not much activity, but I did spot this miniature dinosaur peeking out

    I love exploring Toronto, where I've been living for a while now, with a camera, or more often just with a mobile phone. And looking for unusual angles. This place in the center of downtown on King Street always looks different depending on the weather, time of day, wind... This time I was shooting late in the evening and waiting for the flag to straighten out.Shot on a Samsung s21 mobile phone, edited in an editor Snapseed/

    This shot was taken along with 3000 others images on my first ever photo shoot during Covid. I hired a model I had seen and had come to do pool shots with another Photographer and he suggested I hire her and conceptualize the shoot. I?m not a professional and had no props but I bought some fabric and I used my leaf blower to make that effect. I periodically go back to those pictures and rework them with my iPhone apps for varying effects. You can see more of my work on Instagram. That day creat

    Thank you for considering my photo for Photo of the Week! I have a number of bottle brush trees in my back yard, and birds love the blossoms when they bloom in the Spring. I usually see numerous hummingbirds and sparrows, but I saw this gorgeous bird one afternoon resting in the branches. I was able to get a couple of shots off before it flew away.
