Gaithersburg Camera Club

The Gaithersburg Camera Club’s mission is to provide photographers with an opportunity to develop and strengthen their photographic skills and techniques through their individual style and perspective. Members develop their artistic viewport over a broad spectrum of subjects from landscapes, street art, wildlife, abstracts, architecture and many other themes. Through their photographic eye, they invite the viewer to feel the emotion of the moment they captured.

The Gaithersburg Camera Club helps its members become better photographers through lectures, workshops, field trips and competitions. They have members of all skill levels, from novice to very advanced, and their meetings and field trips give them an opportunity to learn from others who share a passion for photography. Many of their members have won awards for their work at various county fairs and international competitions and been published in national publications.
