Southampton Camera Club

Quiet Night in Town by Kevin Wise

Southampton Camera Club (SCC) was founded in 1896 and is regarded as one of Southern England's foremost photographic clubs. We have a full programme of activities throughout the entire year.  

We are happy to announce that we are now meeting once again face to face until any further government guidance suggests otherwise.  Our programme of activities will continue each week in our hall. Please see our activities calendar. (Events Diary)

We continue to encourage visitors and invite you to contact the secretary should you wish to attend any of our face to face meetings at our hall in Copythorne.

The talk is based on psychology and is about empowering people to make informed decisions as opposed to worrying about rules and whether to break them.

"Tools not Rules"

a talk by Caroline Preece

Doors Open 7pm | start time: 7:45pm

Visitors welcome (£7) on the door.

Enquiries: sccsec@southamptoncameraclub.co.uk

The objective of the talk is to introduce people to a different way of thinking about photography and composition.

The first part of the talk covers photography as a visual language and communicating your personal take on the world through your images.

In the second part I aim to provide you with an understanding of the psychology behind how people interpret the visual elements within an image; and the impact of your compositional choices on the end image and how the viewer experiences it.   This will help you communicate more effectively through your images; ensure your photos say what you want them to say and feel like you want them to feel; and enable you to create images with impact.

The talk is based on psychology and is about empowering people to make informed decisions as opposed to worrying about rules and whether to break them.
