We offer three levels of distinction; Licentiate, Associate & Fellowship. We recommend you apply for the Licentiate first, unless you're an experienced photographer, in which case you may decide to apply for our Associate distinction first.

For the Licentiate, applicants must show (among other criteria) a variety of approach and techniques but not necessarily in subject matter. It's demanding but achievable for most dedicated photographers.

It will require you to submit 10 images which reflect your ability as a photographer. On this page you will find everything you need to apply for the Licentiate (LRPS).

Hazel Mason FRPS explains her enjoyment of being a member of the Licentiate panel, explains in detail what panel members are looking for, and highlights the importance of Advisory Days.

Anne Belcher LRPS explains how joining the RPS helped her photographic journey. Anne says taking part in an Open University course helped her gain her LRPS.

15-year-old Esmé Lloyd from Dorset explains how she achieved her LRPS and improved her photography
