RPS Landscape Group

Advancing the art of landscape photography

The RPS Landscape Group (Landscape Special Interest Group) is a friendly community dedicated to encouraging landscape photography and helping photographers develop their skills. Since launching in 2016, we’ve welcomed everyone from those just starting out to experienced practitioners, with plenty of opportunities to learn through making, sharing and collaborating.

We take a broad view of landscape photography — from wild places to built environments — and we celebrate both classic and contemporary approaches. Whether you enjoy careful, considered work or more creative techniques such as long exposures, multiple exposures and intentional camera movement, you’ll find like-minded photographers here.

Alongside a programme of professional workshops, member-led field trips, and competitions, members can stay connected throughout the year through our regular eNewsletter, the Landscape Group Magazine (published every eight months), and opportunities to share work via our Print, Critique, Processing and Project circles.

When we say “landscape”, we mean it in a broad sense — here’s the Group’s definition:

  • The photographic portrayal of all elements of the land, sea and sky, whether natural or built, or influenced by human endeavour.

  • Examples include mountains, hills, farmland, coasts, bodies of water, forests, and populated and industrial areas.

  • Images may be created using traditional or other techniques (including, but not limited to, infrared, multiple exposures, intentional camera movement, abstraction, minimalism and post-processing).

Themed competition

Weather and Atmosphere

There is something deeply evocative about the way weather shapes a scene. A drifting veil of mist, the drama of storm clouds, the hush of falling snow, the glow after rain or the shimmer of heat in the distance — atmosphere can transform even the most familiar landscape into something powerful, mysterious or serene. This theme invites you to explore the moods created by the elements and the way nature’s changing conditions influence light, colour, texture and emotion.

Whether you are capturing sweeping skies, fleeting fog, dramatic rain or subtle atmospheric effects that add depth and feeling to an image, we would love to see your interpretation of Weather and Atmosphere.

Theme dates: 1 March – 28 June 2026
