Welcome to the Western Region

Come along and join the Royal Photographic Society Western Regions for an enchanting Members' Social photography walk! Led by our dedicated volunteers, this event guarantees a delightful mix of companionship and artistic expression as we embark on a journey to capture captivating stories through our lenses.

Expect to traverse picturesque landscapes and uncover hidden narratives, all while enjoying the company of fellow photography enthusiasts. And of course, no photowalk would be complete without a relaxing stop at a local cafe or pub, where we can unwind and share our experiences over refreshments.

Step into the exhilarating world of photography, where every click of the shutter propels you into thrilling escapades across our region and beyond.

Embark on a meticulously curated adventure that invites you to explore the nuances of light, the depth of narratives, the significance of ethics, and the raw emotions woven into the fabric of your craft.

Unlock the secrets of captivating photography in our immersive workshops.

Learn techniques to capture the essence of the region's natural beauty. From composition to lighting, enhance your skills under qualified, award-winning industry-leading professional guidance.

Join us to unleash your creativity and elevate your photography to new heights.

Most Monday evenings from around 7 pm we host a live Lightroom and Lightroom Classic Support group and community on Zoom.

Each semester we look at a theme or module. Each Monday evening, we look at a task within that theme or module for around an hour, then for the next 30, 45 or 60 minutes, it's a question-answer session, how do I do this or I've got a problem with that.

Why not come and join us? It's free for RPS Western members.

We aspire to embrace emerging talents alongside seasoned artists, beckoning them to unveil their unique visions.

Through engaging dialogues, we seek inspiration from their artistic journey and mastery of photography, fostering a community driven by creative exploration and shared passion.

Join us most second Sundays of the month from 10:30 am to be part of this enriching experience.
