Photography is Better Together
Why Join South Shields Photographic Society?
Our aim is to ensure members get the most out of their hobby and are inspired and supported in their endeavours. Wherever you are on your photographic journey, if you want to improve your photography, we can help you.
Our Tuesday night activities include talks by external speakers, members' presentations, with frequent digital and print competitions. Our meetings are lively, interactive, and friendly, creating an atmosphere where we can learn from one another and from the highly accomplished judges and speakers who attend.
See This Season's Programme for all our upcoming activities.
We are eager to expand our membership, particularly encouraging younger individuals, and we believe that diversity will make our club stronger and more engaging for all members.
Why not come along one evening? There’s no obligation to join, and you’ll find us very welcoming. We meet at 7.30 pm on Tuesday evenings at St. Bede's RC Church, 10 West Road, South Shields. The season starts in September and runs till the following May.
We cater for all levels of photographic experience and interests in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere with competitions, talks and chat.

"I joined the SSPS in September 2025. I had lost my way with photography; finding my creative mojo sadly lacking. I was looking for a reason to get out there with my camera again and rekindle my passion. Being able to meet like-minded people, and having the opportunity to enter various club competitions, seemed great ways to aid me in finding a reconnection with photography."
