Auckland Photographic Society

What Makes Auckland Photographic Society Special

Auckland Photographic Society supports photographers at every stage, from complete beginners to those exhibiting internationally. Members gain access to monthly image challenges that run from January to October, along with workshops, walkabouts and tours designed to build skills and confidence. The first Thursday meeting each month typically features an educational workshop or guest speaker, while the third Thursday focuses on club challenges and image critiques at 7:30pm. An end-of-year event is held in November, providing further opportunities to connect and celebrate progress.

Where to Find Us

Located in Remuera, Auckland, the society has maintained a continuous presence in the region since its incorporation in 1916. Meetings are held at St Paul's Church Hall, offering a consistent and accessible venue for regular gatherings. The club's long-standing connection to Auckland reflects its role as the city's original photographic society, active for over 100 years and open to all who wish to develop their photography.
