About Us

 

LUUPhotoSoc is a vibrant and thriving society, welcoming all who have an interest in photography! Whether you’re a total beginner, a professional, or would just like to discover a little more while meeting other photographers, this is the society for you!
You don’t need an expensive top of the range camera to join, many of our members use compact camera’s and produce stunning images! In fact, you don’t need a camera at all – why not borrow one from us and we’ll show you the ropes!
There is no focus on one specific form of photography, although digital is the most popular, many of our members prefer film. If you have a passion for film photography you’ll be pleased to know we have our own darkroom right here in the Union! We’ll be providing inductions at the beginning of the term to help you towards developing your perfect print.
One of the biggest benefits of the society is being around other photographers with various expertise and interests in photography with whom you can exchange ideas and techniques. We have our socials at Terrace in the union on Thursday which are always a lot of fun and a night in the city centre is always a great way of getting to know each other!

 

We arrange three types of trips throughout the year, day trips, weekend trips and international trips. Day trips are normally around the Northern area (don’t believe those who say the North is grim, one trip to the dales and you’ll see why they’re wrong!). We also organise weekend trips away which have included; the Lakes, Edinburgh, Bristol, the Yorkshire Dales etc... The international trips are around 5 days during the Easter holidays and have featured previous adventures such as previous years trips to Bruges and Amsterdam!
LUU PhotoSoc also supports your development as a photographer through seminars ranging from an introduction to photography, improving your technique and learning how to light paint. We also run photo critique sessions, in which we encourage our members to bring their photos into a positive environment where we discuss the pros and cons of the images and discover ways to improve your photo skills. We run a monthly theme-based competition through our Facebook group along with out Flickr page as well as other opportunities to get your images displayed publicly around the university. PhotoSoc has been involved in various exhibitions and now have a permanent location to display our member’s images in the Hidden Café!
If you’re undecided, why not come along to one of our Give It A Go sessions that we’ll be running throughout the year,details can be found on our website.

 

Come Say Hello!

We meet every Thursday at 8PM in Terrace [soon to be changing] in the union, so come along and see what's happening in the society!
