Photography Convention

Step Into the World of Photography at an Exclusive Convention at Shambellie House

Why Come?

The 2025 Photography Convention is getting closer and is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the art of photography at beautiful Shambellie House. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or an eager beginner, this full-day event offers something truly exceptional for our region.

Renowned photographers Emily Endean and Sean Tucker take centre stage, delivering inspiration and expertise that’s often unavailable outside the central belt. Their knowledge, passion and insights promise to spark creativity and enhance skills for all who attend.

Proudly supported by our headline sponsor Kilnford, the convention isn’t just an event, it’s a celebration of photographic artistry, learning and community.

What’s on offer?

Expert Talks & Industry Insights

Learn from celebrated photographers Emily Endean (outdoor and freelance photography specialist) and Sean Tucker (renowned photographer, filmmaker, and author). Alongside insightful talks, attendees will have the opportunity to take part in an additional session led by a local expert in their field, Jean Robson FRPS, John McKenna or Judith Hewitt, all of whom will be offering individual talks and discussions.
