The Royal Photographic Society

The Royal Photographic Society was founded in 1853 'to promote the Art and Science of Photography', a mission it continues to this day in the UK and through our large international  membership.

Membership is open to everyone who is interested in photography: regardless of whether they are amateur or professional, artist or scientist, young or old. As well as becoming a member of The Society itself, many members also join some of the specialist 'sub-groups' which focus more closely upon their chosen field of interest within photography: from nature photography to contemporary practice digital imaging to fine printing, pictorialism to imaging science, the moving image, and many others.

Over 250 events are organised across the country each year

The Royal Photographic Society is a unique Society that is open to everyone to join.
Its aim is to promote the art and science of photography and it is an Educational Charity.

Members are invited to take up the challenge of The Society’s Distinctions. The three levels are Licentiateship, Associateship, and Fellowship and have their knowledge and practical skills and abilities officially recognised.

Members can share, learn and develop their technical, visual and creative skills Through the active online community and the Regional and Special Interest Group Events that are organised by the Royal Photographic Society. Regions and Groups have meetings, exhibitions and competitions and publish their own newsletters and magazines.
