The Royal Photographic Society has worked with independent publisher Raconteur Media on a special report titled ‘Photography as Art’ which is available with today’s (15 August 2012) The Times newspaper. There is a link to an electronic version here: http://np.netpublicator.com/netpublication/n02035768

The Society proposed contributors to the report and those writing include Tim Rudman, Jonathan Shaw, Joe Cornish, Richard Freestone, Karen Fuchs, Diane Smyth, Miranda Gavin and The Society’s Director-General Michael Pritchard. A number of The Society supporters such as The Macallan and Olympus have also participated.  

The report has a print run of 710,000 and a readership of around 1.4 million. Society members in the UK will receive a copy with their September Journal and copies will be available for collection at The Society's headquarters, Fenton House in Bath shortly.

The report is an excellent opportunity to promote photography to a general audience and, of course, represents a recruitment opportunity for The Society.
