The RPS"The worldwide home for All Photographers""Since joining the RPS (Royal Photographic Society) I have learned a great deal, made many friends and have enjoyed photography more than I ever imagined possible." John Curgenven 
The Royal Photographic Society was founded in 1853 'to promote the Art and Science of Photography', a mission it continues to this day in the United Kingdom and through its considerable overseas membership. Membership is open to everyone interested in photography: be they amateur or professional, artist or scientist, young or old.
