Norwich & District Photographic Society are one of the few photographic clubs that look after our new members by offering a specific programme when you first join. Our New Members Evenings run throughout the winter season and offers workshops, critiques evenings and plenty of other sources of help to photographers of all standards improve their photo-skills and to become fully integrated members of the Society
Practical & Hands on
As well as attending the regular Members Evenings on Tuesdays, new members are also invited to our New Members Evenings. They take place on Thursdays, approximately monthly, At the moment, we will be hosting some of these meetings online via Zoom.
New Members Evenings are workshop-based and so are a great way to develop your photographic skills. There is an emphasis on developing your photographic eye and thinking about how we communicate visually. The workshop programme includes illustrated talks on making your photography more dynamic, creating abstract work, and thinking about how images work together as sets. There are also workshops on practical subjects, such as basic post-processing techniques, and follow-up themed critique evening, where your work is assessed by the workshop leaders.
Photographers of all levels
The New Members Group is for photographers of all levels, from beginners through to those who are experienced. You’ll get feedback on your work as well as learning practical skills. You also have the opportunity to share your own expertise and ideas.
The Thursday New Members Evenings are smaller and more informal than the Tuesday Members Evenings and are a great way to meet other new members. We suggest that new members attend New Members Evenings during their first year.
Tuesdays & Thursdays
NDPS encourage new members to come to the Society’s Tuesday evenings as well as to the monthly Thursday gatherings. NDPS attracts visiting speakers from all walks of photography, and they are invariably generous with their experience, knowledge, and advice. NDPS also encourage new members to enter images for the Monthly Image Competition, which is another way of having your work assessed by friendly commentators from within the Society. New Members are also encouraged to submit entries to our competitions and exhibitions.
