Fellowship is the highest Distinction of The Royal Photographic Society and recognises original work and outstanding ability in a specialist field.

It is essential for all applicants to read the Distinctions Handbook before applying.

It is open to Associates of The Society and Fellows of the BIPP, but photographers with an established reputation may apply direct, based on their CV, references, publications and exhibitions, even if they are non-members of The Society. Please contact 01225 325760 for more details.
