Photographic Society of Singapore (PSS)

Photographic Society of Singapore (PSS) was established in 1950
PSS’s beginnings began in a dingy warehouse at Boat Quay when 5 friends came together to discuss the formation of a society to cater to the growing number of photography enthusiasts in Singapore.

PSS has always been part of Singapore’s nation-building, with pioneers and members documenting the nation’s progress through their works. Over the years, PSS has produced many outstanding internationally renowned photographers.

PSS is constantly committed to promoting international cultural exchange through the art of photography and strengthening partnerships with photographic organizations around the world. PSS constantly strives to stay connected with the changing needs of the photographic community and advancements in imaging technology.

Today, PSS is Singapore’s national institution for the art of photography and the official national federation designated by the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP), an advisory member of UNESCO. PSS currently consists of a Board of Directors and is governed by a Management Committee. PSS and her members have witnessed the evolution of photography over the past 72 years.

Through the passionate contributions of its members and staff, PSS continues to be a leader in the global photography community. Currently, we have over 700 paying members and over 47,100 followers on our social media platforms.
