“What can I say about Society of Photographers that hasn’t already been said in below reviews. It truly is a fantastic and supportive group. I’ve only been a member for just under a year and have found it extremely valuable. All the members are really helpful, the admin have always got time for you. The monthly competitions are judge very fairly and the resulting winners are of a high standard, partly due to the help and assistance of the societies mentoring program. I recently attended the judging workshop it was a very fascinating insight into how work is judge at competition level. It was a great day and you really get a friendly, family feel when around everyone. Love it and would recommend the Society of Photographers to anyone.” – Adam Airey

“Between all the memberships I hold with international photographic organizations, I can confidently say that the Societies SWPP is by far my preferred. This is an organization where you really have plenty of opportunities to grow as a photographer. The list of benefits that come along with your membership is long – and on top you get a management team as well as a team of judges consisting of extremely passionate, knowledgeable and inspirational people. The annual Convention will always be on top of my list of priorities to attend – both for the amazing live print judging, the classes, networking and the awards night. Highly recommended to everybody with a camera in their hand !” – Ulla Jensen

Apart from the wealth of information keeping us up-to-date with the developments and events in the photographic world, I relish the opportunity to take part in the monthly and annual competitions. Seeing good photography and competing against the world’s best has contributed immensely to my development as a photographer. More than that, the amazing generosity of the members in terms of help and advice is an invaluable asset of the organisation. I hope the Societies continue to go from strength to strength.” – Cristina Pascu-Tulbure
