About:

The Boston Camera Club (BCC) membership is for a one-year term. In addition to the club’s regularly scheduled activities of photo competitions with insight from professional judges, photo education, field trips, inter-club competitions, special interest groups, and critiques, the club membership provides a community with which to share your enthusiasm and passion for photography. Many events start with social time to allow for interaction with other members and ask questions.

Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or advanced photographer, you’ll find events and programs to meet your interests.

Other benefits include:

·         BCC Reflector newsletter: a monthly newsletter informing members of upcoming events, member shows, judge tips, special photo programs, and winning images from the club’s competitions and special events

·         Monthly Print and Projected Image competitions where each submitted image is critiqued by a professional photographer. Each competition includes a presentation by the evening's judge.

·         Monthly Photo Critiques: a small group setting where members critique other members' images; plus, an opportunity to learn more about Lightroom.

·         A listing of other photographic competition opportunities in the New England area.

·         Discounts at various photography stores and businesses.
