Joining a camera club

A question we get asked a lot is why should you join a camera club, society or organisation. With social media being such a fundamental part of any growing photographers education these days, camera clubs can seem like a remnant of older generations.

Modern camera clubs have thankfully evolved somewhat with the times and accessibility of photography. These days you should be able to find something to suits your personal needs, whether you are a seasoned photographer or just starting out with your smartphone. Either way, if you have an interest in photography there are many good reasons to think about joining a camera club.
