About Us
About Us

The aims of the Monmouth Photographic Club are to help members improve both the quality of and their enjoyment of photography. Hopefully club meetings will inspire you, help you to learn, and above all be fun!

We are open to people of all levels of experience and expertise, total beginners are welcome.

The camera you use is irrelevant. It doesn’t matter if you have the best quality camera that money can buy and produce fine quality 16” x 12” prints, or you use a simple point and shoot camera and just want to take pictures of your holidays or children/grandchildren.

Our aim is to help you get the best out of your photography.

We do this through a series of meetings from September to May which can broadly be split into four categories as follows:-

1)Talks and demonstrations.
The club invites well-known photographers to come and talk to the club and exhibit some of their work in the form of digital images and / or prints. Seeing other people’s work gives you inspiration for improving your own photography.

2)Practical sessions.
Members are invited to try various aspects of photography with support from members or tutors.

3)Competitions.
By entering competitions you can see how your photography is improving and how it compares with the work of other members. The judges are always helpful in providing friendly, constructive criticism. However you don't have to enter competitions unless you want to, you can learn a lot simply by observing other members' images being judged.

4)Members Evenings. (Open to all, run by members)
Certain evenings in the programme are designated as members evenings. The exact content of a particular evening is decided by the members and include such things as members giving a demonstration of a particular photographic skill / technique that they use, studio evenings, discussion evenings on a particular aspect of photography, photograph assessment evenings etc.

In addition to the club meetings:

  • We have photographic day trips out and short breaks/weekends away.
  • Many members are happy to offer one-to-one help with getting the best out of your camera and/or photo processing and manipulation. If you would like some help ask any committee member and they will point you to the right person to help you.
  • We have a members' WhatsApp group to share photos, comments and suggestions for trips out etc.
  • Each month we have a website challenge. The idea of this is to encourage members to try out new ideas or types of photography and to showcase innovative images. (See the website Challenge page for more information)
