Since 1885, the Pittsburgh Photo Section has been devoted to helping photographers grow and expand their horizons. We meet three times each month, with our season running from September to May. Please look at our schedule and read our flyer/membership application (182K pdf). The membership is made up of amateur as well as professional photographers.
Meetings are held at the Mt. Lebanon Recreation Center (off Cedar Blvd), starting at 8PM. Learn more about us.
