Welcome to the website of the New Hampshire Society of Photographic Artists. This year, we celebrated our 20th anniversary as an informal group of photography enthusiasts. Some are working professionals, some are semi-professional, some are advanced amateurs, and some are new to this artistic medium. All are welcome. What we all have in common is an enjoyment of creating photographs. Members join for a chance to meet and network with fellow photographers. The NHSPA has a number of exhibits, meetings, retreats, and special events for our members. 

Most exciting to us is a New Hampshire statewide photography project called “New Hampshire NOW”. We kicked this off at the beginning of the summer. It is an 18-month photographic project to document the people, culture, architecture, industry, landscape and events of the Granite State. The project is being curated by NHSPA co-founder and current New Hampshire Artist Laureate, Gary Samson. Upon completion, the photographs will be exhibited at statewide and regional locations. For more details and to sign up, click on the link in the menu bar above.

We always welcome new members. This is an invitation to join, as well as to get involved - to help on projects such as NH NOW and even to become a member of the NHSPA Board. This website is to provide information about NHSPA, to be a resource for our members, and to showcase our members’ work.  

Thank you for visiting and come back often! Feel free to provide comments and ask questions.
