Atlanta Photographic Society - Learning, Fun and Artistic Expression
This is the official Meetup for the Atlanta Photographic Society (APS), member of the Photographic Society of America. APS is a photography club established for the enjoyment of people sharing an interest in photography.

Our Master Photographers help mentor your learning and success.
Members participate in monthly and annual photo competitions and photo critiques, educational programs, field trips, exhibitions (Salon and Photographer's Theme Exhibitions) and the annual awards banquet.
Established almost 53 years ago, we are likely Atlanta's first photography club. Learn all about us on APS's award winning web site.
