Photography Development Group

The principal aim of the Group is to encourage and enable Club Members to develop their photographic skills both in the capturing of images and in the processing and presentation of those images to an audience.

In each of the items listed below constructive criticism of Members’ images in preparation for submission will be provided either from within the Group or by reference to more experienced Club Members.
Note that it is not intended that the Group provides in depth tuition on the use of software such as Lightroom, Photoshop, etc. Members requiring such tuition will be directed towards the Digital Imaging Group.

1. To encourage Members to enter their images into Internal Club Competitions, particularly if they are new to photographic competitions.
2. To encourage and enable Members to present their images to a wider audience outside of the Club through external competitions, exhibitions, salons, etc..
3. To encourage Members to develop their photographic skills by entering the Club Diploma Scheme.
4. To encourage Members to develop their photographic skills by applying and taking part in external Distinction Schemes such as those provided by the RPS, PAGB, etc.
5. To supplement the Club Mentoring Scheme by providing guidance on particular photographic genres, camera technique, image processing and image presentation.
