Who are the Guild of Photographers?

People working in crafts have organised themselves into guilds as far back as Saxon times, and by the medieval period, guilds had a fundamental role to 'protect the quality and reputation of a trade'.

Most guilds would consist of those seen as being able to produce a good standard of work (those ‘Qualified’ to work in the trade), those who were exceptionally skilful (the ‘Craftsman’), and those who could go beyond even that and create a Masterpiece (the ‘Master Craftsman’).


The Guild of Photographers is still no different than the original guilds, in that it wishes to protect the quality and reputation of our trade, hence the membership structure is aligned to that of historical context…
