Hexham & District Photographic Society

Welcome to Hexham & District Photographic Society

I'm Dave Strother, the Society President, a retired IT Professional, and a keen amature photographer for over 50 years.

Over the years I've developed a range of interests in photography from Aviation to Motorsport, Landscapes, Wildlife and Nature.

- Dave Strother, Society President.

I joined Hexham Photographic Society in 2017 having relocated from Cheshire.

It's a great place to meet like-minded, friendly people with a range of interests, whose willingness to share knowledge and experience has assisted me further develop my photographic skills.

- Dave Strother, Society President.

Although the society has as objectives "the study & advancement of photography," I believe enjoying photography is the most important aim of the society.

For me, this is achieved by attending some of the many workshops and meetups, organised by members with the aim of getting out and about to put theory into practice by creating photos.

- Dave Strother, Society President.

Should you have an interest in photography and think you want to join, do contact us and come along to a meeting.

You don't need to be the next Rankin, or have an extensive range of photographic equipment. Increasingly, members are obtaining great results using compact cameras or even their phones!

- Dave Strother, Society President.
