Message from our President

Welcome to the Preston Photographic Society Website and thank you for taking the time to have a look, I hope you will find it interesting . We pride ourselves on a reputation we seem to be gaining of being a friendly Society.  During the summer we have a varied program of Photowalks, often weather dependent, so announced are at short notice and posted on our Facebook page. These attract many photographers some familiar faces and some new and are an excellent chance for prospective members to just come along with your camera and meet like-minded people.  There is no charge and often lifts are available. It a good introduction that does not involve walking into a room full of strangers. We welcome newcomers to photography, and will tailor a series of opportunities for you to develop techniques to get the best from your camera regardless of  its simplicity or sophistication.

The club has a long and illustrious history, but has developed with the times. We encourage many types of image making, from traditional darkroom work, through to digital capture, and processing, to express the Art of Photography. This will be demonstrated in the varied  program of lectures and we try to think outside the box a little and bring in occasional speakers not normally found on a club Syllabus.

Photowalks continue at weekends, on a less frequent basis, during the winter months. We are able to go further afield and spend longer at the locations, these will be announced in due course. They continue to be a way of meeting like-minded friends and learning from each other.

So please come along and  join us and turn what might be a passing interest into a hobby, passion, or way of life to give you years of enjoyment and satisfaction...

​​Stephen Riley - President

When I first joined PPS I was rather nervous as I was so unsure what I was getting involved in. However, I shouldn't have worried as once I joined and realised that the club has many photographers at different stages of there development with everyone being so helpful it was made very easy for me and I was made very welcome.  The people are very friendly and always willing to pass on any advice. My moto -"Never be afraid to ask", if they don't know the answer they will point you in the right direction. My photography has come on leaps and bounds since joining.

I have been a member of Preston Photographic Society since Sept 2016 and can say that I have enjoyed being part of such a happy and vibrant club, being made to feel welcome from day one. The weekly meetings are always entertaining with a variety of speakers and competitions run throughout the season. Although the clubs aim is to help people improve their photography by example and guidance, above all it is about having fun while learning. The photo walks and critique evenings have been of great benefit to me where help has always been freely given.

 In September 2015 a notice was shared on my Facebook page. “Opening night of our new season” by Preston Photographic Society. I decided go & I was met at the door and introduced to quite a few members all of whom welcomed me, none of this sitting in a corner feeling out of place. I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed myself; the club is very friendly with everyone willing to go that extra mile to help each other.  
I would highly recommend everyone to come along a give it a go. The first few sessions are free, so what have you to lose? If you don’t fancy joining the club watch out for the Summer Photo walks posted on the Facebook page as they are open to non-members.
