Fun. Community. Growth. Photography.
At We Are Photo, we believe photography should be inspiring, inclusive, and—above all—fun. We’re a vibrant community of photographers from all walks of life, from total beginners to seasoned pros, coming together to explore creativity, build skills, and connect with like-minded people. Whether you're here to learn, meet others, or reignite your passion for photography, you're in the right place.
Founded in December 2022, We Are Photo started with a simple idea: to create an open and welcoming space where anyone with a camera could feel at home. What began as a casual meet-up has quickly grown into a thriving community both online and across Essex and Hertfordshire. With regular events, hands-on workshops, and an active online platform, we’ve helped hundreds of photographers grow their confidence, creativity, and connections—one photo at a time.

“Welcoming and friendly group. It doesn’t matter what experience you have we all are learning, sharing together and it’s very motivating. What made me love this group even more was they check on your mental health. Sounds cliche but it does feel like family because everyone’s so supportive and here to answer any questions you have.”
