Inverness Camera Club is made up of a friendly group of photography enthusiasts who meet every Wednesday night from September to April and welcomes anyone with an interest in learning more about the art and science of photography. Each meeting starts at 7.30pm prompt upstairs in Culduthel Christian Centre, Culduthel Avenue, Inverness, IV2 6AS.

Members, who are of a broad age range and ability enjoy a varied and stimulating programme throughout the season of guest speakers, club and external competitions. Practical workshops take place each Monday night and it is through these sessions they enjoy a valuable exchange of ideas with each other.

All exponents of the photographic world are supported with traditional film & print as well as modern digital techniques being well supported.

The club offers a warm and welcoming environment in which you can continue your journey towards photographic excellence - or get on the first step should you be completely new to the world of photography.

Why not come along to our next meeting where members will be on hand to share their experience and help you improve your photographic skills.
