The Camera Club of the Philippines is the oldest photography society in the Philippines (established in 1928). We are a non-profit organization composed of members from varying backgrounds … students, professionals, executives, businessmen, doctors, lawyers, professional photographers, as well as retired folks. As of 2014, the club has 90 regular members, 40 lifetime members (or members who have been with the club for more than 25 years) and 13 probationary members.
Through mutual fellowship, we strive to encourage excellence, appreciation and enjoyment of Photography. We meet every first Monday of the month at Rockwell Club in Makati City. We hold 13 competitions in a 9 month calendar, 4 of which are outdoor photo shoots held anywhere in the country. For the past 6 years or so, we have added one optional international location to this competition where members and their family join to enjoy the sights and company of each other.
Our membership is exclusive. Applicants need to be sponsored by a regular member in good standing position with the club, or a lifetime member. Sponsors vouch for the applicant’s character and are expected to help the applicants in their journey in becoming a regular member. The Probationary Membership of a new applicant is from a period of 12 to 15 months. Once completed, he or she will become a Regular member of the club.
