Welcome to BetterPhotoSchool.com - A place to further your photography, a community to connect with people who share a common interest and a place to promote your photography business and services.

Hi my name is Patrick Ryall along with Michael Christian we are the founders of Better Photo School. I have been a keen photographer for more years than I care to remember and started out in film photography and I still like shooting in film today, although I find more and more I use this exciting digital medium.

Michael and I have wanted to start a photography site for quite some time, we understand that there are many resources available to the photographer but we wanted to bring many aspects of photography under one roof as it were. Apart from building an awesome resource for people to further their photography knowledge we wanted to bring a community together and allow professional photographers a platform to showcase their talent and promote their services.

Community contribution is our main focus encouraging professional and amateur photographers alike to write engaging content for our visitors and members while gaining added exposure for their own websites, blogs and businesses.

If you are a professional or amateur photographer and would like to contribute to BPS we would love to hear from you email us here, in the mean time join the social network and build your photography profile, after all our site is all about exposure. You can also connect with Facebook with our social network, when you select the BPS Network menu item you will see on the right hand side under the login area 'Connect with Facebook' this allows you to import your avatar and profile from Facebook straight into your profile here.
