“Dungannon and Cookstown Camera Club began in 2007,

with a few like-minded people who wished to share their photographic hobby. Since then, the Club has become one of the top clubs within the Northern Ireland Photographic Association (NIPA) with club members accomplishing many accolades and recognition.

Dungannon and Cookstown Camera Club is a multicultural club. Welcoming membership from all levels of photographic knowledge and ability. From the complete beginner through to more experienced and professional photographers. Due to current child protection policies all members must be 18yrs or older.

The Club is one of the most forward thinking in Northern Ireland and has set precedents for many other clubs to take their photographic skills into the community and encourage others to enjoy the Art of Photography. We have been involved in several community projects.

With the resulting images being displayed in local exhibitions.

Every member has something to offer, and our meetings are as much about learning from each other as it is a social get-together. Being part of a club means that you are able to bring along your printed images and get advice on how to go forward, enter competitions, and share your work with others.

Photography is being an artist where you evoke an emotion in the viewer.

We are the people who document life, people and places around us.

As Chairperson, I enjoy nothing more than to see members improve their skills and knowledge. While enjoying their photography and building strong bonds of friendship. We have a very hard-working committee who plan a varied program of events. Designed to ensure our aims of “fun and inclusiveness”
