About This Group

Welcome to the Budget Photography Group.

If you don’t have the money to spend on ‘Named Brands’ and always looking for bargains and other ways to save money for your photography, then this group is for you.

“This group is such a good example of what it means to be a true artist, it’s not all about using the best equipment, regardless of whether you are a photographer, musician, painter, etc it is about the ideas and execution” Group member Harmony Summer

Here, you can show the work that you have produced from a second hand camera, processed in free software, or anything that you consider a bargain buy.

All we ask is that photographs submitted have a description emphasising what ‘budget equipment’ was used in the making of the shot.

The Forums are a wealth of information on how you can save money, so please have a look and contribute if you can.
