About this resource

About

Founded in 1968 and registered as UK Charity No. 262866, The Disabled Photographers' Society is one of the world's oldest organizations dedicated to making photography accessible to people with any disability. Run entirely by volunteers — the majority of whom are disabled photographers themselves — all services are shaped directly by lived experience.

What It Does

The DPS provides free technical advice, adaptive camera modifications, donated and loaned equipment, an Electronic Portfolio Group for peer feedback, and a biannual Distinction awards program that evaluates photographic achievement with each member's disability taken into account. Members can request bespoke wheelchair camera mounts, adaptive shutter triggers, and other custom modifications at no cost.

Who It Helps

Photographers with any disability — physical, sensory, or other — across the United Kingdom and internationally who want to pursue photography as a hobby or vocation with peer support, adaptive equipment, and formal recognition of their achievements.
