SUMMARY:Print Competiton 2025: Christmas Edition
DESCRIPTION:Full Competition details: \n\n\n11th of December 2025 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm\nCategories are: Open | Environmental Portrait \nClosing Date for Entries: 27th of November\nPresentation Night: 11th of December 2025 at the TTC Club Rooms\n\nEnvironmental Portrait Definition: \nAn environmental portrait is a portrait executed in the subject’s usual environment\, such as in their home or workplace\, and typically illuminates the subject’s life and surroundings. By photographing a person in their natural surroundings\, it is thought that you will be able to better illuminate their character\, and therefore portray the essence of their personality\, rather than merely a likeness of their physical features. It is also thought that by photographing a person in their natural surroundings\, the subject will be more at ease\, and so be more conducive to expressing themselves\, as opposed to in a studio\, which can be a rather intimidating and artificial experience. \nThe emphasis should be on creating a portrait that tells the viewer something personal about the subject: their job/hobby/passion/etc. The subject should be engaged\, that is they should know that they’re having their photograph taken. \n\n\n\nWhen submitting your prints please ensure: \n\n\nThe prints are adequately protected i.e. with card/portfolio/bubble wrap\nAll items submitted with the prints are named i.e. photo boxes\, cardboard etc. (these will be returned to you with your print)\n\n\nEntry Specifications: \n\n\nLimited to 2 images per member per category\nImages must not have been used in any previous Wellington Photographic Society competition\nEach image is to be entered into one category only\nYou must be a current financial member of the Society to enter\nMatting of entries is optional. Maximum mat side – 16” x 20” (406mm x 508mm). Not framed. If the image is not matted it is recommended that images are printed with a white border for display purposes.\nImage size – any size within the mat dimensions\nPlease note your Name\, Subject (Open\, Black and White)\, Title of the image and a contact number on the back of your print (In case we need to get it back to you afterwards)\n\n\nEntry Rules \n\n\nAll elements must be the work of (or have been created by) the photographer (entrant).\nThe use of stock photography\, computer-rendered or third-party content (including skies\, borders or textures) is prohibited.\nAll content and images must be from original exposures made within 24 months of the entry closing date. This includes all composite elements of an image\, such as backgrounds\, skies\, textures and borders.\nImages captured\, retouched\, digitally edited or printed over the duration of a workshop\, seminar\, tutorial\, or similar\, where the primary focus is for education\, are ineligible\, irrespective of whether it was under the direct instruction of the presenter or not. This rule only applies to attendees of workshops\, tutorials and educational/training events. Instructors\, students\, emerging members\, and attendees of photo-tours where the primary focus is not educational\, are not restricted. If you have any questions\, regarding the entry or the rules please let us know. Exemptions may be granted in cases of sickness/extenuating circumstances (This will be on a case-by-case basis)\n\n\nAnnual Print Competition: Drop Off\n\n\n\nDrops off can be arranged by email at comms@wps.org.nz

SUMMARY:Bring a Print - Feedback and Critique Evening
DESCRIPTION:Do you have any photographs that you would like feedback on? Or maybe you just can’t put your finger on what might make the image better? \nThis is a great chance to discuss your work with other photographers or to run your work past others for feedback on how you can improve. You may bring in up to five photographs for consideration; they can be possible competition entries or anything else you want input on. \nYou can bring digital photos or physical prints (we suggest at least 8×12 size so that people can view details\, images do not need to be mounted or framed\, but can be). Feedback will be anonymous during the critique and there will be an opportunity later in the evening to discuss your image with others if you would like to. \nYou can have up to five photographs per person in print or on a device (laptop or tablet). You don’t need to bring any photographs to take part\, you’re more than welcome to simply provide feedback to others or simply catch-up with other photographers. \nDon’t be afraid to participate. Everyone has to start somewhere\, and receiving feedback is a great way to improve.\nMembers of the public are welcome to attend \n  \n

SUMMARY:This event is now cancelled
DESCRIPTION:This event has now been canceled due to unforeseen circumstances. \nRachael Smith – Using Photography as a method of healing & recovery \nThrough this work\, I have explored challenges that occurred in a relationship where the balance of power was unequal. \nThis autobiographical body of work has come about through observing myself\, everyday routines\, environment and changes in my situation as though I am disembodied from the scene itself.  Using a digital camera to document my domestic  surroundings and observations I have been able to make images that reflect a certain time\, feeling or emotion. Digital files are downloaded\, processed and printed to create a final resolved image.  Studying these images in post-production offers a way for me to observe my own situation at a distance with new clarity of mind. \nThis methodology is a means of escape\, and of visual articulation for situations that I had not previously been able to discuss. Using a process of observational contemplation\, approached through the lens\, as an attempt to better understand my own situation. Images created during periods of emotional pressure – everyday subtleties that draw my eye. \n“The beauty of those places I soared over is with me still\, and in all my dreams as in my waking life was a love of place\, a sense that places were embodiments of emotions\, were anchors\, were companions of a sort\, even protectors or parents.” \nCheck out more of Racheal’s work here: \nRahera Photography\nwww.raheraphotography.com

SUMMARY:PSNZ Honours Club
DESCRIPTION:For those who attended our last meeting\, I mentioned that we will be starting a Honours Club.\n\nThe purpose of this club is to provide support and encouragement to WPS members who are interested in attaining one of the three levels of distinction awarded by the Photographic Society of New Zealand: Licentiate\, Associateship\, and Fellowship.\nFurther information\, including informative videos and portfolio examples\, can be found here: https://photography.org.nz/honours/psnz-honours/\n\nThe purpose of the awards is to encourage New Zealand Photographers to push their boundaries and grow their artistic and technical skills through an awards system not unlike what exists in the US\, UK\, Australia\, and Canada.\nAchieving an honours level also unlocks opportunities within the PSNZ such as judging for photographic competitions for other clubs.\nAt this stage\, we are starting the Honours Club for those trying for the first award\, Licentiate\, which is open to PSNZ and non-PSNZ members. Is there is enough interest in higher levels\, we’re more than happy to accommodate.\n\nThe first meeting will be this Wednesday\, March 10th at 5pm at the Tramping Club. It will be a quick meeting for people to discuss what they want out of the club and when they want to meet.\nHowever\, I am more than happy to host this meeting on ZOOM instead if there is greater interest in that. Please comment below if you prefer a ZOOM meet-up
