Portland Photographers’ Forum
Portland’s premier fine art photography forum
We are a community of photographers located in the heart of Portland, with members from Oregon and beyond. We educate our members and the general public on the subject of photography as a fine art through meetings, educational seminars, workshops, outings, and exhibitions of photography.
Two Monthly Meetings
In-Person Print Review Sessions
PPF coordinates a monthly, in-person print discussion group. Participants are encouraged to bring up to 5 prints to discuss with the group. Each person who shares photos will be provided with a few minutes to discuss their work. The audience is encouraged to ask questions and provide constructive feedback. These meetings occurs on a Monday each month. Print Review Sessions are open to the public. However, you must be a member in order to present prints.
Upcoming 2026 Dates: Aug. 3, Sept. 14, Oct. 5, Nov. 2, Dec. 7 (Holiday Print Exchange)
