Welcome from the president:
Welcome! I'm so glad you found your way to the Photographic Society of Orange County (PSOC).
We started back in 1992 with just eight members who shared a love of photography. Now we have grown into a thriving photography community based in Fountain Valley, CA.
Whatever your experience level, you'll fit right in here. Our membership includes people who picked up a camera recently, those who photograph with only a cellphone, skilled and not so skilled amateurs and even some seasoned professionals.
At the heart of it, PSOC is about learning together in a relaxed, welcoming environment with no competition and no pressure. We’re simply people who love photography and have a desire to share knowledge.
Each month, we bring in outside experts to offer supportive critique for members who want feedback on their work. We also have a field trip each month to great local spots, and twice a year we plan longer field trips to explore outside of the immediate area, as a group. Check out the Newsletter located on this site and you will see what we are up to right now.
Above all, we have fun while we're learning and growing as a photographer. If that sounds like your kind of community, we'd love to have you join us.
Come check us out at any LENS meeting or General Meeting, it’s free to attend and the dates are in the Newsletter as well.
lcome From the PSOC President:
"The Photographic Society of Orange County (PSOC), founded in 1992 with eight members, is based in Fountain Valley, CA. We are a dues paying member organization open to the public, with a membership of approximately 150 photographers. In terms of experience, our Members range from relative beginners to professionals.
Our primary goal is to learn from each other, and from non-members, while enjoying an informal social environment. Each month, we engage the guidance of external experts to provide supportive critique to those members who submit their individual work. We also conduct monthly one day field trips to nearby sites of interest for members, and twice a year we organize overnight trips for members of a few days to locations in the US chosen by the membership.
We want everyone to learn more about the craft of photography, having fun in doing so.
