Welcome to the Dallas Camera Club website !!

The object of the Dallas Camera Club is the mutual entertainment and education of its members in all forms of amateur photographic art. Any person who is interested in photography and is willing to make freely available to other members of the Dallas Camera Club the results of their photographic experiences, may become a member.

The Dallas Camera Club (DCC) was organized in 1934, starting with 52 printmakers meeting twice a month to further their photographic skills. Color slides were added, presumably in the 1950’s. In 2005, digital images were added and combined with slides to create the “projected images” category. Slides were eliminated in 2008, so that the club activities now focus on color prints, monochrome prints and digital projected images.

The DCC hosts contests and events including monthly competitions, field trips, workshops, programs of general knowledge and interest, an annual competition with the Fort Worth Camera Club and a club Annual Awards Banquet. The DCC stresses intra-club competition as a learning process. Emphasis is placed on helping the beginner or new member feel at ease, ask questions, learn and participate.

Numerous club members have become recognized locally, nationally and internationally through exhibits and awards in newspaper, magazine and other competitions.
