2. Why should I join this club instead of another one?

Because this club is built around you. We’re focused on creating a friendly, inclusive and inspiring space where photographers of all levels feel valued. You’ll find support, opportunities to learn and a community of people who share your passion.

Not at all! Our Photography Club welcomes everyone – from complete beginners to advanced photographers. You’ll always feel comfortable, supported and never out of your depth.

No – you don’t need a camera to enjoy the club. Many members bring their cameras, but we also explore lots of photography activities that don’t require one.

5. Can I join with just a camera phone?

Yes, absolutely! Many of today’s best photographs are taken on phones.

6. Can I try the club before becoming a member?

Yes. You can attend a taster session for £15, and if you choose to join afterwards, that fee will be deducted from your membership.

Membership is by monthly or yearly subscription, rather than pay-as-you-go. This helps us keep running costs low and focus on delivering the best possible experience for members.
