We Promote Creative Photography

  Portland Photographers' Forum educates its members and the general public on the subject of photography as a fine art through meetings of its membership, educational seminars and workshops, and exhibitions of photography.

We are not a club. Our members include professional photographers, working artists, teachers and photography enthusiasts. The common thread for all is the desire to improve our work and to share our love of photography with the public.

Members work in any variety of ways, from pinhole and toy cameras to large format view cameras. Digital. Traditional. Color. Black-and-White. Silver. Ink. Platinum.

Our monthly meetings feature a guest speaker, usually an accomplished photographer from the Portland/Vancouver area. Members share and talk about new work, ideas, techniques, equipment, places to go and ways to work.

We hold regular group outings to scenic locations, sponsor workshops, and participate in group shows at galleries around the region. We value friendship, sharing, encouragement and cooperation over competition.
