About us

Meetings

We meet each Thursday at 8pm throughout the year, except in July, August, and around Easter and Christmas, at Kew Community Centre, Upper Hall, The Avenue, Kew, Richmond.

In addition to the many well-known speakers for illustrated talks and demonstrations, and other special events, we have a number of annual, internal and external competitions and awards. We also encourage members to enter images for our bi-monthly Print and Digital competitions which take place on the last Thursday of each month, analysis and scores being awarded by external judges. The scores are aggregated towards Annual awards.

Special Interest Groups (SIGS)

We have further monthly meetings, normally on Mondays or Tuesdays starting between 7:30 - 8pm, for Specialist Interest Groups (see Venues). These group meetings, which are both informal and informative, are:

Awards and distinctions information and support for members aiming for PAGB and RPS distinctions
Creative Eyes encouraging the creative thought behind photography and image making
Infra-red images, comments and discussion
Monochrome images, comments and discussion
Outings to organise and encourage group outings
Pictorial images, comments and discussion
Post-processing workshops and demonstrations of digital post-processing techniques

Advice and mentoring

The Society has members whose interests and skills range through all aspects of photography. They are very happy to give advice to fellow members wishing to improve their skills.
