RPS Yorkshire Region

Welcome to God’s Own Country.

We’re a region of breathtaking diversity and the largest county in the UK. Read on to discover what we do, how to contact us, and see our news and events.

Our region includes the high hills and glacial valleys of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Its beautiful and rugged coastline stretches from the Humber Estuary to the Tees. We also have vibrant and exciting cities and towns. There are many historic sites and places including rivers, waterfalls and canals. Photographic opportunities abound!

We aim to provide and coordinate opportunities for photographers of all abilities and levels to enjoy their hobby, share, learn and develop skills in positive, supportive and enjoyable environments. Activities include:

  • Arranging occasional events for members to obtain preliminary advice before submission to an RPS Advisory Day.
  • Arranging and supporting formal Advisory Days in association with RPS Headquarters.
  • Facilitating visits to areas of photographic interest along with a knowledgeable leader.
  • Arranging occasional Zoom lectures, which provides an opportunity to hear from photographers working in Yorkshire. Members who have obtained distinctions may be invited to discuss their successful portfolios.
  • Publicising the meetings in the Region that are organised by the Special Interest Groups.
  • Publishing regular newsletters.
  • Establishing ‘meet the Committee meetings’ on Zoom six times a year. One or more of your Committee members will be available to discuss any Regional issues that members wish to raise.

NEW! Join us on Flickr

We've set up an official RPS Yorkshire Region Flickr Group for you to share your images, ask for constructive criticism and share your suggestions with others. In the future we are likely to curate members' exhibitions through Flickr due to current practical constraints hosting them fully on the RPS website.

If you don't already have a Flickr account, it is free to set one up for up to 1,000 images online. Just follow the link below and choose to join. There are settings that allow blocking of image downloads and other constraints - we recommend you set those appropriate to your needs.

The RPS Yorkshire Flickr Group has been set up with an RPS Yorkshire admin email, so will stay with RPS Yorkshire, regardless of volunteer changes.
