Australian Photographic Society

Is this the group for you ?

This group within the Australian Photographic Society caters for a wide range of individual interpretations of photographic imaging.

• Are you exploring your own personal approach to photography?

From the Earth - Anne O'Connor AFIAP FAPS

• Are you seeking to illustrate concepts, rather than simply creating a striking or pretty picture?
• Are you working on your own themes, rather than producing one-off images?
• Are you visiting contemporary art and photography galleries, developing your awareness of the range of photography being produced today and its place in the wider art scene?
• Are you interested in exhibiting in a gallery environment, individually or as part of the group?
• Are you stretching the boundaries of your photography?
• Are you prepared to face new challenges with your photography?
• Are you prepared to "break the rules" with your photography?
• Are you interested in using photography as a part of mixed media images?

If you have answered yes to any of these questions you would be most welcome to join the Contemporary Division of APS. Within this group you will find others with whom to exchange ideas and images.

We organise folio groups to facilitate interaction between members. In the postal folios we circulate copies of images in the form of print, photocopy or transparency. We also have web based folios. There is scope to develop exchanges of CD, DVD, or video files as demand arises.

Contemporary Division is committed to providing the opportunity for members to exhibit together and we have held several exhibitions: some in association with Apscon, the annual convention of the society.

You do not have to be an accomplished contemporary photographer to belong. All you need is the desire to develop your photographic expression and broaden your horizons.
