Welcome
Minneapolis Photographic Society is the only Twin Cities club devoted exclusively to print photography. We are members of the Twin City Area Council of Camera Clubs and the Photographic Society of America.
Through monthly photo competitions, programs, workshops and tutorials, MPS members fine-tune their skills and enjoy fun and friendship with other photography enthusiasts. Check us out at one of our meetings. Our regular meeting place is IFP in St. Paul near the intersection of highways I94 and 280. You can find a map and directions here .
