The Westchester Photographic Society generally meets every Friday evening throughout the year with the exception of major holiday weekends. The meetings feature diversified programs such as talks by experts, workshops, demonstrations, model shoots, member showcases, critiques, and monthly competitions. Our weekly meetings are held on Fridays at 7:30 PM over Zoom. On some Fridays, we hold a mentoring session that starts at 6:45 PM, before the main meeting.
We invite guests to visit us to see if they would like to become members.
