The Amersham Beyond Group is a special-interest group within the Amersham Photographic Society (APS) which has evolved to concentrate exclusively on creative photography and photo-based art. This covers anything that requires the photographer to do more than be in the right place, wait for the right moment, and release the shutter.

The techniques can include, but are not limited to;

• creation of composite images from layers of other images

• digital editing using Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Affinity Photo and similar software

• exploration of the vast array of available creative software tools and techniques

• in-camera techniques involving staging prior to the shoot, intentional camera movement, multiple exposures, etc..

The group aims to go beyond traditional photography, beyond the viewfinder, and beyond development software such as Lightroom.

MONTHLY CHALLENGES

Every month photographic challenges are set to encourage members to explore new creative techniques. These may be achieved by means of software or in-camera.

See the Albums where the images are grouped by Challenge.

Amersham Photographic Society is based in Buckinghamshire in the UK.
