Ashford Photographic Society welcomes you to its website
Ashford Photographic Society is one of the most successful Societies in the Southeast, yet we are proud that we cater for photographers of all abilities and interests. We embrace many forms of photography, including colour and monochrome slides and prints, and actively incorporate Digital imaging in all our competitions and in many of the invited presentations.
You do not need to have 'state of the art' equipment to be an active member and, whilst every encouragement is given for you to show your work both in informal evenings and in competitions, you are just as welcome to come along and enjoy the best images from Society members and invited speakers.
We invite diverse and varied speakers every year, so you can be whisked off to distant lands one week yet see the abundance and diversity of images available on the Kent and UK doorstep the next. These talks embrace everything from Landscapes through Natural History, Portraiture, Still Life and even Cathedral photography. This is balanced with a number of competitions, ranging from league to 'subject' based. In all cases, the evenings are full of informed and helpful comments to help improve and stimulate your photographic skills, regardless of your abilities. The programme contains full details.
We meet every Friday evening, from early September until mid May, at St Mary's Parish Hall, near St Mary's church in the centre of Ashford.
We hope that you find the rest of the Site informative and stimulating. You are very welcome to join us for a few meetings without any obligation, so why not come along and see for yourself.
