Monthly meetings take place at Belvidere Manor Conference Centre on the third Wednesday of each month, where members are encouraged to showcase their work in return for constructive feedback and promotion by club judges through a grading system recognised by the Photographic Society of South Africa (PSSA). Many of the members have achieved excellent results in both national and international honours award events, putting Knysna Photographic Society squarely on the map.
Visitors are invited to attend the society's monthly meetings.
