Boston Camera Club
THE FOCUSED EYE: Our Unique Views
Founded in 1881, the Boston Camera Club is one of the oldest camera clubs in the country, and is dedicated to the advancement of photography as an art and a science. The club currently has over 150 members, ranging in experience from novice to professional, from all over the greater Boston metropolitan area. Meetings are held weekly and include photo competitions, critiques, educational lectures, and studio portrait sessions. Additionally, the club sponsors exhibitions, field trips to local points of interest, and special events and workshops led by well-known photographers.
