A Welcoming Community for All Levels

We pride ourselves on being an inclusive club. Photography is a journey, and our members range from beginners learning the basics of exposure to advanced photographers exploring complex artistic techniques. No matter where you are in your journey, you’ll find a community ready to share knowledge and encouragement.

Monthly Competitions & Feedback

One of the best ways to improve is through constructive feedback. Our monthly competitions cover both Print and Digital categories, with separate sections for A Grade and B Grade to ensure a fair and rewarding experience. Each month features a “Set Subject” to challenge your creativity, alongside “Open” categories that allow you to showcase your best work.

Education & Skill Development

The ECC is deeply committed to learning. We host:

• The ECC Photography Course: A comprehensive program designed to give you a solid foundation in technical and creative photography.
• Expert Presentations: Regular sessions with professional photographers and industry experts covering everything from Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) and wildlife photography to advanced post-processing techniques.
• Hands-on Workshops: Practical sessions on specialized topics like portraiture, bird photography, and long exposure.

Unique Resources

Membership at ECC comes with practical benefits, including:

• Equipment Lending Library: Access to specialized gear that you might not yet have in your own kit.
• Special Interest Groups: Connect with members who share a passion for specific niches, such as our Portrait Photography group.
• Field Trips and Outings: Regular club excursions to scenic locations around Victoria, providing the perfect opportunity to practice in the field with fellow enthusiasts.

Get Involved

We meet regularly at our clubrooms (every second and fourth Monday of each month) to share our work, learn from guest speakers, and socialize. Photography can be a solo pursuit, but it is best enjoyed with others who share the same passion.
