All about us
Wellington Photographic Society
Wellington Photographic Society encourages the study and practice of photography. It provides high quality stimulating events, opportunities for learning and promotes an appreciation of the aesthetics of photography. Our meetings are run on a fairly informal basis and you can be sure to learn something new at every meeting – whether you have been interested in photography for years or just starting out.
The programme of meetings and activities for the year are regularly updated and can be found here. At our meetings, you get the chance to listen to and meet some of New Zealand’s established and up & coming photographers.
You also have the opportunity to share your own photography and to receive feedback from other members. A number of field trips are planned throughout the year where members get together at different locations and have fun making photographs.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in contact and we look forward to seeing you at a meeting soon.
THE AIM OF THE SOCIETY IS TO ENCOURAGE PARTICIPATION AND HELP MEMBERS DEVELOP CONFIDENCE IN THEIR PHOTOGRAPHY. WE PROVIDE A DIVERSE PROGRAMME OF ACTIVITIES AND WE ARE SURE YOU WILL FIND THAT THE SOCIETY HAS PLENTY TO OFFER YOU.
