Winchester Photographic Society Wi******er Photographic Society (WPS) welcomes all people interested in photography. This is a closed group for members only. See the WPS programme for details.

INTRODUCTION

Wi******er Photographic Society (WPS) welcomes all people interested in photography and endeavours to cater for all, from absolute beginners to advanced amateurs and professional photographers. As one of the largest photographic societies in the south, we do have a diverse membership with a wide range interests. Our aim is to encourage photography and help people improve their technique and capabilities. We try to maintain a friendly approach and offer aid along with constructive feedback on members' work. Our programme has a range of exciting events, such as skilled lecturers who are willing to come and share tips and tricks of the trade, workshops to practise and improve skills around others of similar interests, and of course photographic competitions (both prints and projected images) to push your creativity to the limit. FACEBOOK GROUP

Members of the Society are encouraged to join the Wi******er Photographic Society's Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1050042475046835/?fref=nf). MEETINGS

The main meetings are held on Tuesday evenings at 7:30pm from September to May, at the Wi******er Discovery Centre, Jewry St, Wi******er, Hampshire SO23 8SB. During the Tea/coffee break (on most Tuesday meetings), there is a ‘Print Discussion Table’ where members can seek advice and comments about their photographs or ask questions. This is also a time to socialise and to ask advice from other members. Approaching a committee member is a good start if you do not know who to speak with to get help. WORKSHOPS AND GROUPS

We also hold workshops on various subjects and have a Panels group who help each other, looking at ways to present several photographs instead of just one. There is also an Audio Visual (AV) group who work on presenting a series of digital images to music. The workshops, Panels group and AV group normally meet on a Wednesday evening at the Littleton Millennium Memorial Hall, The Hall Way, Littleton, Wi******er, SO22 6QL. Note these meetings are not held every week. TWITTER

Looking to develop or showcase your photography skills in 2026-27? Now is a great time to join Wi******er Photographic Society. Our new season starts on Tuesday 1 September.

Whether you're just starting out or have years of experience behind the camera, Wi******er Photographic Society offers a welcoming and supportive environment where photographers can learn, grow, and be inspired.

We are one of the largest and most vibrant photography communities in the south. Don't just take our word for it. Here's what member Nick Gatherer, who joined in October 2025, has to say:

"As a novice photographer my skills have improved significantly since joining Wi******er Photographic Society. Guest speakers have introduced me to new genres of photography, whilst Special Interest Groups and feedback from experienced practitioners have helped refine my own photographic techniques. The relaxed and collaborative nature of the society works well for me, and I'm excited to begin my second season where I aim to focus on improving my composition and editing skills."

✅ Inspiring guest speakers throughout the year
✅ Special Interest Groups including Beginners, Improvers, Drones, Projects and Print
✅ Constructive feedback from experienced photographers
✅ A relaxed, friendly, and collaborative atmosphere
✅ Over 30 different competitions to enter and opportunities for exhibiting your work
✅ Social events, down-the-pub, outings and workshops available (some may have further fees to cover costs)

If you're looking for a place to learn, share ideas, and enjoy photography with like-minded people, we'd love to welcome you to the Society for the 2026-27 season.
