Willaim Crooke mpiga picha maarufu wa uScottish alichaguliwa rais mwaka 1899. Wengi wa wajumbe walikuwa pia wanachama wa Royal Photographic Society lakini walitaka kuanzisha shirika lililo kuwa lina weza kuwa saidia katika kazi yao.' [1]
Mahudhurio katika mkutano wa kwanza yalikuwa 48 lakini yaliongezeka haraka zaidi miaka iliyofuatia mpaka ikafikia 328 kwa mkutano wa mwaka 1898 [2] Utaratibu wa kikundi ulikuwa kuchagua mji ambapo wangekuwa 'hosted' na kikundi cha mtaani. Hoteli kubwa ilichaguliwa kama makao makuu ya mkataba na siku tatu hadi nne zilikuwa zime tengwa za mpango wa hotuba, outings, maonyesho na dinners.
