RPS Digital Imaging

We run various projects and competitions for you to meet other members and see what people are doing:

• A digital image competition, with three classes and a final round to choose the winners.
• A print portfolio to select a showcase of the breadth of members' work, with printed copies for all entrants.
• A bi-monthly fun competition with winners selected by the membership.
• Talk-Walk-Talk (in association with the Landscape Group) - a themed talk, member-led walks and a round-up session to discuss results. Next round: 'Sites of Religious Significance'. Email twt@rps.org if you'd like to lead a walk.
• New projects for 2026: including more Handmade Books and Zines, and Finding your Style II.
• One-off events like our World Photography Day challenge ↗ and a fun AI competition.

The DI Group offers you a number of opportunities to learn about photography, at various levels according to your needs:

An opportunity to come online and meet fellow members and the DI Committee.

• To ask any questions you may have.
• To contribute new ideas you might like to see.
• To find out what DI has to offer you.
• To meet other DI members.

This is an open Zoom meeting for you to have your say. It will be especially interesting to newer DI members or perhaps those of you who do not engage as fully as you might wish and want to find out more. We're a friendly bunch, so don't be shy!

Now well into its fourth year, our popular project (in collaboration with the RPS Landscape and Creative Eye Groups) is currently focused on places of religious significance - churches, temples, shrines, neolithic stone circles etc..

We're currently recruiting people to lead walks for the programme on mainland Britain, and our international and island members can make special arrangements for solo or small group walks.

Visit our dedicated T-W-T website for full details.

Christine will examine how AI is reshaping photography, from its integration into editing software to the challenges of detection and policing. She’ll address copyright and ownership in the age of AI, and explore AI-generated images as a new art form — illustrated with examples from her own innovative work.

Christine's photographic journey began in a darkroom at the age of five and has taken her through decades of discovery, from film to digital. Today, she is passionate about creating images that tell stories, whether capturing the rugged beauty of Saddleworth, the intricacies of wildlife, or creating composites that bring ideas to life.
