Carrigaline Photographic Society

Carrigaline Photographic Society The objective of Carrigaline Photographic Society is to develop, promote & improve the knowledge. Meetings in St. The Society meets in St.

Marys Hall, Church Road (usually last Wednesday of each month) at 19:45 -

Dates posted here in advance As a result of a notice in the parish newsletter the Carrigaline Photographic Society was formed in November 1985. The Society was set up to promote photography as an art form. In recent years the majority of members now use digital medium but there are members producing Black and white prints,

colour prints and slides as well as members processing and printing their own work. Being a Photographic Society, the emphasis is on producing photographic images, therefore, intending members need not be concerned about type of equipment used or indeed the need for expensive equipment. At monthly meetings Society members present their work for critique and, when the opportunity arises, the work is exhibited to the public. The most recent exhibition took place in the new Carrigaline Library in September 2009 and this year being the 25th Anniversary of the founding of the Society there are quite a few exciting events planned for 2010. Beginners are welcome and instruction is given, but most members learn from the interaction and exchange of ideas between members. Weekend field trips, and day trips, are organised, as are short workshops by Society members. Society membership is open to anybody over 18 years. If you are considering joining CPS we would invite you to come along to one of our open nights in March or September to find out what the Society is all about. Mary's Hall beside the Church of Ireland on the Currabinny Road, Carrigaline on the last Wednesday of each month at 7.45pm.

With clients ranging from People Magazine to The Daily Telegraph, he has photographed celebrated living legends, including Jennifer Lopez and Bill Gates, and captured historical moments such as the September 11th Terrorist Attacks.
Penman’s distinctive style, versatility, and dedication to his craft has won him prestigious awards and exhibitions and distinction as one of the “52 Most Influential Street Photographers” alongside industry legends, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Sebastião Salgado.
