About Us
Get to know more more about the Staten Island Camera Club
The First Camera Club
We’ve been around a long time. We were the first Camera Club on Staten Island, known back in 1954 as the Color Camera Club of Staten Island. A lot has changed over the years and we have kept up with all the technology and have embraced the new Digital Age. We welcome all photographers of all skill levels to join with us and share in our ideas, techniques and most of all our love of making Photographic Images. Join us for a virtual meeting and experience us at our best.
Virtual Meet-Ups
Today we are 100% digital and we meet on a virtual platform. We employ Zoom as our vehicle and meet three times a month. At our Virtual gatherings we foster the development of all our photographic talents by sharing our knowledge and experience with each other. Everyone gets a chance to question, probe and discuss the topics we explore. Everyone’s comments and opinions are valued and cherished by one and all.
Meetings: Competition Schedule
Meet-Up with our membership. We also meet for Competitions once a month. Usually on the 3rd or 4th Thursday of the month.
We currently hold our Competitions on Zoom. Ask to be invited, use the contact form and we will reply. We’d love for you to attend and see our beautiful images..
Events
As regular members we get to meet and socialize with other local photographers both amateur and professional on a regular basis.
The learning & mentoring begins through club meetings, Meet-Ups, field trips, photo competitions, workshops, seminars and social gatherings where we all have the opportunity to craft our skills and exchange ideas.
We also get to discuss photographic techniques and ideas, learn about new equipment, and explore photo opportunities that will challenge your skills and expand your horizons.
