About Wolverhampton Photographic Society (WPS)

Founded in 1888 WPS is a lively society with over 80 members. All areas of photography are covered from archival photography through to digital imaging. In 2013 we will be celebrating our 125th anniversary - culminating with a major exhibition at Wolverhampton Art Gallery.

We like to think of ourselves as a friendly place to learn about photography and its various techniques as well as a place to enjoy it as a hobby. All photographic abilities are catered for ranging from novice to expert.

We have frequent photographic outings, competitions and have recently been holding an annual “spectacular" where we host a famous photographer at a local theatre. Andy Rouse, Charlie Waite, Chris Packham and Tom Mackie are some of our recent celebrity lecturers.

Our competitions cover print, projected digital images and AVs, so whatever your taste or abilities, you can take part! We participate in a number of competitions with other local photographic clubs and also national competitions - and during the past two years have racked up many successes, thereby becoming one of the top clubs in the Midlands area.

We are affiliated to the PAGB and the MCPF. Furthermore, we also offer help, advice, support and encouragement to any member wishing to obtain a distinction with the Royal Photographic Society.

WPS take pride in being able to offer something for everyone interested in photography. Whether you are the casual photographer, who may just want to take better holiday snaps, through to the more serious amateur who wants to create some really spectacular images, we can help you achieve your goals.
