About Us

PSRI, the Photographic Society or Rhode Island has been in existence since 1927. During that time, it has changed its name and meeting location but never its spirit. PSRI is the premiere camera and photographic society in Rhode Island, dedicated to excellence in the art and craft of photography. It has members who have been with the organization for decades and remember the “good old days” when they ran from one pick up point to the next to collect photographs for the competitions. The group arguably represents the best photographic talent in the state and the membership has been growing every year. You may enjoy reading the short document titled “A Brief History of PSRI“.

The activities of the society are run by its governance, consisting of the officers and board members. The first Tuesday of every month during the meeting season is dedicated to official business and it is open to any member who wishes to participate in the affairs of the organization. The activities include the regular meetings, which include almost all the Tuesdays except when there is a board meeting, or those that coincide with the holidays or holiday seasons. Additionally, PSRI organizes field trips that include nearby places as well as far away destination. When a meeting is not dedicated to periodic competitions, there is some activity planned aimed at taking the art of photography to higher levels and the practice of this art to a more meaningful and fulfilling experience.

We invite you to join us at one of our meetings to experience this energy first hand. You will meet people of great photographic talent, and great people to boot.
