About us: Brighton and Hove Camera Club

We are a large friendly camera club with a diverse membership.  We currently have over 120 members from in and around Brighton, Hove and Sussex with varying levels of expertise and experience.  We welcome all levels of photography and camera enthusiast, from total beginners to experienced professionals.  

We are a committed club with our main aim to engage, encourage and inspire members. We support our members to develop their photography , as well as providing an opportunity to socialise with like-minded people.

We hold weekly meetings on a Tuesday, September to May in Hove and we offer members a varied programme. This includes talks and presentations from professionals photographers and members alike and, critique nights where members submit an image for evaluation by an experienced photographer.  We also run technical workshops, but our main aim is to show and discuss a wide range of photography.

As a longstanding and well-respected camera club within the Brighton and Hove Community (see Our History below), we are able to attract high profile, national and international, photographers and other professionals to come along and present to us.  

We also hold a New Members Group once a month, which caters specifically for people who are new to the Club The meetings are workshop-based and are a great way to develop photographic skills. There is an emphasis on developing a photographic eye and thinking about how to communicate visually.

Following the weekly meetings many members head off to the local pub to continue lively discussions about the club and photography. In addition, we have a lively summer programme plus other events throughout year such as Social Gatherings, Day Trips, Photo Walks and more. 

We have held a number of exhibitions over the years and will be continuing these.

There is a club committee, which organises how the club is run, and we’re always on the lookout for volunteers to support and help out with our various activities.
