PORTFOLIO TWO

The Royal Photographic Society is pleased to announce its publication of PORTFOLIO TWO.

This high quality book is the second in the series launched to much acclaim with PORTFOLIO ONE in 2007, showcasing the current activities of The Society and its members.  PORTFOLIO TWO shows the many aspects of The Society today - its Award Winners, Distinctions, Exhibitions, its historic Collection, Education, Science and a spectacular display of the breadth of styles and trends in its Members' Gallery.

Society President, Rosemary Wilman, says of PORTFOLIO TWO:

“From the outset I have firmly believed in the importance to The Society and to photography of the Portfolio series. Photography is constantly evolving, notably at present within the digital arena, and the current quality and exciting variety of images seen within The Society are reflected in the selected images. PORTFOLIO TWO is a snapshot of the last three years and an important addition to The Society's history. I believe it has achieved its purpose of showing The Society at its best, and hope that you will enjoy it as much as I do.”

PORTFOLIO TWO is a limited edition, full colour, high quality, hard-back bound book, comprising 240 pages and with dimensions of 24x27cm.  PORTFOLIO TWO covers current styles and trends within The Society and the photography of its members, advancing the art and science of photography, as well as being a record of The Society at this time.

 PORTFOLIO TWO is available for £30 plus p&p from www.rps.org or by calling 01225 325733
