THE Photographic Society of Iloilo (PSI) was established in September 1980 by a group of photo hobbyists bound together by their common interest. Through the years, PSI's path has evolved. Old members took a break, new enthusiasts joined, technologies changed from film to digital, techniques were improved through the use of computers, among others. But the very framework of the club has never changed. This is still a group of people with different backgrounds but have the same love for photography. It has 20 active members comprised of professionals and businesspersons.
The club was programmed activities for the year, which includes PSI-sponsored seminars and workshops for students, hobbyists and professionals; photo outings and excursions to provide the members with photo opportunities; contests to sharpen and improve the photo techniques and skills of each member, and photo exhibits.
This November and December, PSI has embarked on a photo exhibit in cooperation with the UPV Chancellor's Committee for Culture and Arts to show the different perspectives of the club members on 'Public.' The exhibit's subject, 'Public' showcases social awareness, amusing scenes, political color, ordinary day to day activities, environmental consciousness and human emotions. The purpose of which is to make viewers aware of the mundane everyday things and activities that they may have taken for granted.
