The St. Vrain Photo Club provides many ways to engage and learn from other photographers:
▪ Submit images to club events. While the public is invited to attend club meetings and events, only members may submit images for club sponsored meetings, competitions, exhibits, or events.
▪ Monthly member showcase. Each month, club members share photos that meet either of the assigned topics or the open category. Members may share details about their photos without judging or critical feedback. This member benefit is one of the most popular reasons why people join our club.
▪ Frequent critiques with visionary judges. It is a motivating and inspiring experience to get feedback from a judge, and other members, who can help with artistic vision and technical excellence. It is also fun to sit and watch the process!
▪ Field trips. Our club organizes many local and more distant places and events so you get new places to shoot and the ability to share your images with these events.
▪ Classes and discussions. Whether you are a beginner or a professional you are guaranteed to learn a ton of valuable information in each one of the classes offered by either our own members or professionals conducting special workshops.
▪ Special educational events and lectures. Our educational Chairperson works hard to invite professionals to share their vision and skills with us. Some recent lecturers have included world-renowned wildlife photographers, and professional artists.
▪ Exhibitions in local galleries and other venues allow you to print and display your work as part of our club.
▪ Community, socialization, volunteerism, and friendships always result when a like-minded
audience shares their passion.
We are looking forward to have you join the SVPS and share a photographic journey together!
