The Greymouth Photography Club is the largest photography club on the West Coast of the South Island, New Zealand. We are centrally located in Greymouth with members of all ages from throughout the West Coast and further afield. Our members are diverse in ability and experience, yet share an equal passion for their photography.

Our meetings may be in person or via Zoom, depending on the activity. Regular meetings are held twice a month, on the 1st Thursday and the 3rd Tuesday at 7:30 pm (January to November).

If you are interested in what Greymouth Photography Club can do for you, come along to a couple of our monthly meetings as our guest. Our programme is available on this website and meeting details will be posted prior to each meeting.  Contact our Secretary for details on where the next meeting is being held, via zoom or in person.

MEETINGS
Our regular meetings offer a range of programmes including practical sessions or tutorials, covering many topics from the basics of camera use through to the more advanced use of digital photography software, and guest speakers of varying photographic interests. Above all else, the meetings offer an opportunity to meet and share experiences with other photographers.

COMPETITIONS
Our monthly competitions are a good way to both showcase your photographs and learn from the experience of the judges via their feedback on your images. They also provide and opportunity to view and be inspired by work from fellow photographers.

FIELD TRIPS
We run field trips to some great West Coast sites where you have the opportunity to capture many wonderful images and learn a thing or two from fellow photographers. Overnight (or longer) field trips are also occasionally made to places further afield.

WORKSHOPS
Workshops covering various topics are held subject to demand and interest. Members are encouraged to ask for workshops to be held on any matter they wish to learn more about.

NEWSLETTERS
Our newsletter, Focal Point, is published monthly and contains news, articles, competition results, members’ photography and helpful hints.

FACEBOOK GROUP
We operate a members-only Facebook group which helps keep members connected between club activities and up-to-date on related topics.

EXHIBITIONS
Photographic exhibitions are held occasionally by our club. These provide opportunities for members to publicly exhibit and sell their work.

PSNZ
Our club has been affiliated to the Photographic Society of New Zealand since 1955, providing members with benefits such as receiving PSNZ’s bi-monthly newsletter (CameraTalk) and the opportunity to apply for photographic honours to the level of Licentiateship (LPSNZ). The affiliation also keeps our club up-to-date with the latest photographic news, events and competitions from around New Zealand.

PSA
Our club has been a member of the Photographic Society of America since 2020 and enjoys participating in the interclub competitions alongside other clubs from around the world, through which members have the opportunity to win individual awards.
