Photography is very popular amongst Blesma members. You wouldn't realise it but when your life has dramatically changed through the loss of a limb or becoming a widow, picking up a camera to take photos really can help in your road to recovery. It may start with taking photos in your garden and before you know it you're on one of Blesma's Photography activities, in the Isle of Mull, hanging off a boat taking amazing photos of white-tailed Eagles! - Reframing your life through Photography.    

About Blesma Photography

The Blesma photography group has grown beyond anyone's expectation over the last 5 years.  Blesma members run a popular Facebook page where they engage and communicate through monthly and seasonal competitions.  There is also a website Blesma Photography Group.

The group are always grateful for support and Kirsty and Parm Verdi who run Verdi Studios and are based across the road from Blesma's offices are one of the photography groups biggest supporter!  Last year, on three different occasions they invited Blesma members to their Studios and held Studio photography courses which helped Blesma photographers no end to understand studio lighting and portraiture photography.  

Verdi Studios have offered all Blesma Members an exciting photography opportunity.....
