Our photo socials are open to everyone and completely free of charge.
This is a friendly event for anyone who would like to share their work or connect with others in the Leeds photography community.
If you'd like to attend, please book a free ticket so we can keep an eye on numbers. Everyone is welcome, and it’s completely free.
Daniel Wheeler is the Education and Community Manager at Take It Easy Lab, where he creates and delivers projects that bring people together through photography, learning, and shared creative experience.
With a background as a photographer, darkroom practitioner, and educator, Daniel takes a holistic approach to teaching, one that values process, play, and personal growth just as much as the final image.
He’s passionate about making creativity accessible to everyone and believes that creative practice can run alongside our everyday lives, helping us slow down, connect, and see the world a little differently. Whether working with artists, students, or community groups, Daniel’s focus is always on fostering curiosity, confidence, and a sense of belonging through making.
