UCL Photo Society comprises a large group of people with diverse interest in photography. We have weekly events ranging from photo walks in different locations in London, and fashion shoots in collaboration with MODO Society, workshops and challenges run by talented UCL photographers and professional guests, gallery visits, and socials. We aim to bring together everyone with an interest in photography to work together on fun projects that will improve your skills. Whether you are a beginner with a phone camera, a professional event photographer, or an abstract photographer, Photo Society will have something for you!

We will be hosting our first theory session on film photography this week, a precursor to our practical darkroom sessions that will happen mid-November!

If you’re curious about the technical aspects of how film cameras work, metering, film development, or what sort of film/film camera you should buy, this session is for you.

This session will be run by our Film and Darkroom Officers Asia and Jingyu, so make sure to come with any questions you might have and bring your camera for help with troubleshooting!

Big news: we’re moving to cirql 📍

From this term, UCL PhotoSoc lives on cirql. Here’s why we switched:

📸 Everything in one place. Photowalks, socials tickets, RSVPs, and announcements live together, instead of getting buried in a group chat.
🗺️ Find us on the map. Every PhotoSoc event pins to cirql’s live map, so you can see what’s on tonight and who’s going + get the safest directions to us.
🎞️ Shared albums with credit. Your shots from every walk end up in one community album, with your name on them.

To celebrate, the cirql team kindly sponsored a giveaway: 4 × Kodak disposable cameras 🎉
