About Us

The North Shore Photographic Society exists to increase members’ enjoyment of photography by developing their skills and providing opportunities to show and share their work.

The knowledge and skill level amongst the members is wide. Whatever stage you are at, the likelihood is that you will find others at around the same place. Almost all of them enjoy discussing photography and sharing what they know. If you have a query, someone will have an answer or at least a suggestion as to where to look. Although some members do professional photographic work, the emphasis is on amateur photography and developing it as an art form and a hobby.

There are currently three regular meetings each month (excluding the Christmas holiday period). These are held on the 1^st, 2^nd and 4^th Wednesday of the month. The 1^st is labeled a “Workshop” and aims to be either (or both) educational or entertaining about some aspect of photography. The other two are “Assessment Nights” in which pictures submitted by members are critiqued.

Field trips are also held from time to time and a number of private informal groups are arranged between members to delve into particular interests or needs. These may be ongoing or short term.

We are affiliated to the Photographic Society of New Zealand, sharing that organisation’s resources and participating in the competitions and activities it promotes.
