St Ives Photographic Club
Founded in 1972, the St Ives Photographic Club is a friendly and active club in Cambridgeshire, dedicated to the encouragement and development of photography in the community.
The club meets at 8pm every Tuesday evening between September and April in the Free Church, St Ives. We also have an active programme of outside events from May to August.
Our autumn/winter programme of meetings offer a lively mixture of talks from both amateur and professional photographers, practical evenings, internal competitions, practical demonstrations of photographic techniques and equipment, and competitions with other clubs. To see more details of our programme, look under the Programmes section.
Our summer programme is focussed on a series of outdoor activities across a range of photographic subjects.
Members are keen to share their expertise over a wide range of photographic techniques and subjects, from natural history and landscape to creative work.
If you are interested in photography and live in St Ives or the surrounding area, this is the club for you and we welcome new members who enjoy photography at all experience levels, young and old, amateur and professional.

The EAF organises an Annual Exhibition every year and all members of affiliated clubs within the Federation are entitled to enter work via their club.
A downloadable file set, the EAF Portfolio, is created showing copies of all the monochrome prints, colour prints and PDI's that were selected to form the EAF Exhibition in that year. It also contains a summary of those entries that were then selected to represent the EAF in the PAGB Inter-Federation Print Competition and Exhibition.
The EAF Portfolio allows members a chance to see the style and standard of work which is currently being accepted in the EAF Exhibition and which has a chance of being selected at national level.
When the EAF gets new and enthusiastic members joining affiliated clubs it is important to help them to see ways in which they might develop their work further.
