What is the DPS?

The Society is a Registered National Charity which began in 1968 when a group of enthusiastic photographers in Richmond invited a group of severely disabled ex-servicemen from the Royal Star and Garter Home to join their meetings and share their interest.

We now have members from all over the UK, and the Society is run by a group of dedicated unpaid volunteers. 

Most of the Committee and helpers have physical disabilities and so appreciate the challenges and diversity of solutions each disabled photographer needs

• We can offer advice or help with modifications and can advise on or supply supports so that you can use cameras and take photographs. 

• We offer Technical Support and help for Disabled Photographers........you only have to ask.

• We act as a source of information on all aspects of photography for people with disabilities.

• Our aim is to promote photography for people with disabilities, or their carers, or groups or anyone with an interest in helping the disabled.

• We collect and modify photographic equipment which we loan to members, such as camera supports, all we ask is that members remember to renew their annual subscription to the society.

• We have regular photo competitions and take part in monthly and annual nationwide leagues.

• Members can also submit work to be judged for Photographic Achievements.

• In addition, we have the “Holiday” we organise “away-days”, studio sessions and we are planning to hold tutorials and seminars, plus, we also stage a very successful Annual Photographic Exhibition.
