Membership of the Creative Group is open to all members of the Royal Photographic Society.

This group of pictures is taken from the 2008 Print and Projected Image Exhibitions
and will change randomly each time the page is opened or refreshed (key F5).

The Group's membership includes many of the best known lecturers and exhibitors in the UK and many of these offer lectures to Camera Clubs and Photographic Societies in the name of the Group. The Group encourages this, as it believes that the club and exhibition circuit is a fertile ground for the advancement of creative photography.

Membership is open to all members of the Royal Photographic Society on payment of the Group fee which is currently £12. However, during the first year as a new member of the RPS, membership of one Specialist Group is available free of charge. Group members are invited to participate in all activities and to use their membership as a means of enhancing and developing their own creativity. All members are welcome to play an active role in the organisation and running of events. It is a Group for those who want to do, as much as those who want to be provided for.

If you believe that you would like to be part of this enthusiastic and dynamic Group which now includes members from many continents then please complete a Group membership form which you may download from this web site, or contact our Membership Secretary: Barry Collin
