Wollongong Pictorial Mafia is a group of photographers bound together by location – we are either based in Wollongong and the Illawarra (on the east coast of Australia, just south of Sydney) or have strong connections to the region.

Online photo sharing brought us together and has given us the opportunity to not only pool our photos but also our experiences. We have regular group outings and meetings and we also provide a forum for solving photography problems or to conduct general photo chats.

Our members range from relative novices of all ages to photographic veterans, we work in digital and film and in a wide variety of photographic styles.
