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 two 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.
• Talk-Walk-Talk (in association with the Landscape and Creative Eye Groups) - a themed talk, member-led walks and a round-up session to discuss results. Next round for Autumn: 'Urban'.
• New projects and workshops for 2026: including more Handmade Books and Zines, and Finding your Style II. Lots to choose from.
• One-off events like our World Photography Day gallery and a fun AI competition.

This year's theme for the DI WPD gallery is "People at Work", so you've plenty of scope to find someone doing something. The more unusual the occupation, the better! But don't worry - the gallery will be an interesting record of a single day whatever you find.

All RPS members are invited to submit an image taken during the 19th, and then you can upload it to the gallery.

Help us celebrate one of the most popular pastimes in the world! Once images have all been uploaded, you'll be able to view them by clicking the button below, and choose your favourites.

Now well into its fourth year, our popular project (in collaboration with the RPS Landscape and Creative Eye Groups) is currently focused on urban settings - not just cities, but also built settlements of any size.

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 and to choose from almost 60 walks, but registration starts in September for walks in October.

Every single day for over a decade, Mary Jo Hoffman has made a photograph of found nature – no subject too small or too ordinary. For Hoffman, this daily ritual cracked open profound revelations about the connectedness of all things, the importance of place, and her own life. This daily practice culminated in Still: The Art of Noticing, a collection of breathtaking photographs from Hoffman's enormous archive, accompanied by perceptive essays illuminating the insights she's gained along the way.

Join Hoffman, an artist-photographer and former aeronautical engineer, as she shares her artistic process, approach to mindfulness, and the Japanese concept of micro-seasons.
