The Germany Chapter of the Royal Photographic Society was founded in February 2009, when a small group of amateur and professional photographers of mixed nationalities – all members of the parent Society – came together and decided to form a dedicated national chapter.
The Chapter offers its members a platform for joint activities in all areas of photography: planning, organising and executing meetings and advisory days toward distinctions, and collective exhibitions on various topics.
Over the years, the Chapter has grown into a vibrant, multinational community centred in Germany. Meetings are regularly held (for practical reasons) in the Dortmund region, reflecting a geographic centre for its widely-distributed membership.
Below is a timeline of the major exhibitions organised by the Chapter to date – now with the additional 2021 exhibition included:
