 The New Jersey Photography Forum is dedicated to furthering the interests of professional and serious photographers living or working in the New Jersey area.  The group is now in its eighth year of development and has become the largest and most recognized group of fine art exhibiting photographers in the state, rivaled only by the American Society of Media Photographers, ASMP, who are commercially based.  The monthly meetings at the Watchung Arts Center encourage attendees to share expertise and advance their skills.  The meetings provide access to a wide variety of creative and technical information.

 Informal presentations and demonstrations by manufacturers and photographic artists are given periodically.  Regularly, photographers have an opportunity to display their work for critique by others or take part in the many workshops offered by the New Jersey Photography Forum.  Exhibition possibilities within the fine art community are constantly explored, which has become an invaluable resource for photographers interested in becoming exhibiting artists.
