Aperture Photography Group

Learn, Improve & Share

Welcome to the APG

The Aperture Photography Group (APG) was formed in 2016 with aim of providing a non-competitive environment where photographers could come together to learn, improve and share their interest in photography.  The founding members had all belonged to other camera clubs and had become tired of the speaker/competition/battle format and wanted to offer something new. We believe we have found the right formula and with a steadily growing membership we have been amazed by the improvement in our work.


In the APG, it doesn’t matter whether you are a complete beginner or more experienced, we just want you to get involved in what we do. For beginners, we want you to ask lots of questions, because it’s the only way to learn. If you are more experienced, we ask you to share your learning and help those who have only just started out on their photographic journey. Together we can help each other to learn how to use our cameras, learn about post processing and most importantly, learn how to see photographically


Apart from fortnightly meetings, we organise talks by professional photographers, photographic outings, workshops away, training courses and photo assignments to help you develop your photographic skills. If you are interested in finding out more, then why not come along to one of our meetings as our guest. Meet the members, see what we are doing and, if you like what you see, join the Aperture Photography Group.

We're Going To Be In It!!

Only three years down the track from when we first opened our doors, we are going to be in Photography News! We have been working with the Editor, Will Cheung, to create the article which will appear in a future edition. This is a great accolade for a relatively new club and it is a fitting tribute to all of the members for their enthusiasm and commitment. 


We are one of the fastest growing groups in Northamptonshire and we believe that this has been very much down to our not being in any way competitive, but striving to help everyone improve their photography.
