There are many benefits of joining GBPS for the amateur and professional photographer.
Our evenings are all about photography and community, we're all good friends and enjoy a good laugh as well as improving our photographic capabilities. The club presents evenings that include presentations of images from both professional and amateur photographers alike, these usually have a theme and can be quite entertaining. We also run workshops on studio lighting, model posing ( using real models!) macro photography, digital manipulation of images. We hold monthly competitions of work submitted by our members, judged by members of the MCPF and other organisations
In April 1982, former students on the Photographic Night School course at Dartmouth High School asked the Principal if they could form a camera society and use the School’s name. Permission was granted and the society was formed under the title of Dartmouth Photographic Society on the 20th April 1982. The society met on the high School premises and was able to use the photographic facilities. Membership was gradually built up through advertising in local shops and papers. Exhibitions of members work were held at local libraries to stimulate further interest in the society.
In march 1984, the society joined the midlands counties photographic federation which gave access to lecturers, competition judges, photographic exhibitions and the opportunity to have print battles with other local societies.
