About Foto-Buzz
Foto-Buzz is an online photography club run by Andrew James, a professional photographer, tutor, and journalist with a huge experience taking images, writing about the technical and creative aspects of photography, and mentoring photographers on specialist trips in the UK and expeditions and across the world.
Member Benefits
Foto-Buzz offers its members access to a vast library of over 400 articles and videos ready to dip into, ranging from advice on in-camera shooting techniques to detailed post-processing workflows. New articles are published each month.
Members also get a themed monthly mission to provide some inspiration and get their creativity flowing. We then come together on a video chat on Zoom for friendly and supportive discussion around the entries, all of which are submitted anonymously.
A members chat lounge offers the chance to get to know each other, ask questions and debate all matters of topics, while occasional social meets-ups provide the opportunity to get together face to face for a day’s photography.

Andrew is well-placed to offer advice on all aspects of photography. He is the former editor-in-chief of Practical Photography and Digital Photo – two of the best-known photography magazines in the UK – and has written a monthly Photo Answers section for Digital Camera Magazine for over 10 years.

He is known for being creative with light and composition across all genres of photography.
