What is Any Camera Photo Club?

Any Camera Photo Club is a FREE monthly photography club for anyone and everyone! The goal is to get out of your comfort zone, be creative, and have fun shooting photos! Each month, members will meet at a location around San Diego for an hour-long meetup to shoot photos that are following the monthly theme.

For example: let’s say that we will be meeting at Coronado Beach on Saturday morning from 11am-12pm, and the theme is “Summer Vibes”. You can take photos of whatever you wish that follows that theme: an ocean wave crashing; a portrait of a girl with sunglasses on; a dog splashing in the water; an ice cream cone melting in someone’s hand; etc.

Thinking out-of-the-box is encouraged!

What do we do with the photo(s) after the meetup?

For up to 1 week after the meetup, members can go through the photos that they took, and pick ONE favorite photo that they can either choose to edit or not. Once they have the final photo ready, members will be able to submit their photo via a DropBox File Request link that will be sent to everyone via text.

Once all of the submissions are in, they will be featured on the @anycameraphotoclub Instagram page!

But I’m not a professional photographer — Can I still join?

Of course! Anyone is welcome to join, whether you have never picked up a camera before OR you are an experienced photographer.

What kind of camera do I need?

You don’t need an expensive camera OR a specific camera to join the club. Feel free to use whatever camera you want! Whether it’s a film camera, point-and-shoot, polaroid, toy camera, DSLR, mirrorless, GoPro, tablet, or your phone!

The best camera is the one that you already have!

How much does it cost to be in the club?

Absolutely nothing — it is free for everyone to join!

Is it a competition?

Nope! It’s not a contest or a competition; it’s something for everyone to enjoy and be creative while following a monthly theme.
