St George Photographic Society

Our club is one of the largest amateur photographic clubs in NSW. We are a happy group of keen amateurs with a sprinkling of semi-professionals. Some of our members are absolute beginners whilst others have been with the club since its inception over 50 years ago. Amongst our members are award winners at national and international levels and some members are accredited judges of club competitions. Overall we are a diverse group of people who share a passion for photography but also a willingness to help others learn.
