02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Dundee Photographic Society is there to provide help and guidance to those who wish to become better photographers. Everyone involved provides friendship as well as help to those who may be new to photography and help them progress in the art. No-one knows it all and by being part of the Society provides a wealth of information and techniques as well providing support for those willing to move out of their comfort zone and try something different. By our members taking an active part competitively allows them the opportunity for their work to be assessed independently with encourageing feedback to assist them in their journey to becoming better photographers. We hold regular talks covering all genres of photography as well as how images presented have been achieved. Competitions are all part of this as well helping members improve as well as setting them challenges. In our midst we have members with national and international qualifications.
