Distinctions
Elevate your photography
The Royal Photographic Society has recognised achievement in photography for more than 130 years. Over that time, RPS Distinctions have evolved alongside photography itself.
RPS Distinctions recognise achievement in photography while supporting continued photographic development. They recognise progressive levels of achievement through Licentiate, Associate and Fellowship.

Young People and Schools
Schools Certificate
We want to reward those students who excel in their GCSE Photography exams by awarding them an RPS Certificate in Photography.
If you are a teacher or know of any school teaching photography at GCSE level, please let them know about the certificate. It’s free and has already proved a hit with the students.
For further information please contact: Liz Williams, Education Manager, +44 (0)117 3164480, liz@rps.org
