About us
We are a group of photography enthusiasts who love experimenting with different techniques and exploring our cameras. Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced photographer, you're welcome to join us! Our goal is to learn from one another and create unique images we can be proud of.
There’s no hierarchy here—no chairperson or treasurer. We’re simply a community of like-minded individuals who believe in the joy of photography, no matter what gear you use. From digital cameras to film, or even just your smartphone, all cameras are equally valued. We have no time for “gear snobs” who think better equipment means better photos. Some of us use vintage toy cameras from the 1970s, while others rely solely on their phones—and that’s great! If it can take a photo, it’s a camera, and that’s what counts.
Our group thrives on the idea that everyone’s perspective is valid, and we can all learn something from each other. There are no membership fees, no competitions, and no one judging your work. The only cost is for film, if you choose to shoot analog, and perhaps the price of a drink when we meet.
We gather every second and fourth Wednesday at The Selsey Club, making it a fun and relaxed way to share ideas, tips, and inspiration, and also to socialise with one another. We also have a free Flickr group where you can store up to 1,000 images and showcase your work for others in the group to comment on. This is a private group so only our members can see and comment. So no need to worry about outsiders criticising your work.
If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, leave us a message here, on our contact page and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Our next meeting is on 11th June at 7pm. We will be meeting at our usual venue where we will be exploring what makes a good composition and looking at images that reflect how you use your camera settings. There will be no need for you to bring your camera to this session as we will be using a projector and screen.
11th June Topic. Composition and how your camera affects it
Our subject for our meeting on the21st May will be all about composition and how your settings on your camera affect the images you produce. This is a follow on from our last meeting and this time we will be looking at your images. Please bring along 4 images on the night on a memory card or stick for the group to review and comment on your work. Please be assured no one will rubbish your images, this is to help you get to grips better with composition and to give you some ideas based on the way you personally work. As ever the only cost to you is the £1 to cover the costs of using the room at The Selsey Club. We start at 7pm as usual. There will be no need to bring your camera to this session. If it's your first time coming along to see us to see if you like what we offer that's great. As you will see our fees are minuscule and there is no need for you to commit to join us for a whole year. If you just want to come along to learn the basics over a few sessions then that's fine. Remember our core philosophy is, "if you like the photograph you have taken, then it's a great photograph".
