About Us
Our photography club has an extensive programme including presentations from top class photographers covering all genres as well as club competitions throughout the season which runs from September to June.
All competitions are appraised by a suitably qualified judge who will give helpful critique of each image.
We have regular club day outings, usually once a month, as well as a small number of extended 4-5 day trips to locations further afield such as the Lake District.
Come along to our club evenings and be ensured of a friendly welcome. We meet on a Tuesday evening at 20:00-22:00 in the Chantry Centre just off Billericay high street.

How Most people have a clear view about brutalist architecture, but there is more to see than just hulks of concrete. One of the more difficult architectural subjects to capture since it is a largely grey subject, with acute lines and uncompromising structures. Alistair will explain how he manages these tricky subjects.
