IMAGES CAMERA CLUB 29 Years of Seeing the World through a lens Think of Photography in Cebu and the First thing that probably comes to mind is Images Camera Club, which has spanned 29 years of exceptional work and evolving artistry. In 1984, the club began as a spin-off of a photo workshop organised by Island Photo Center, Inc., with the late Eliseo Casia of Kodak, Philippines as the speaker. He taught the workshop participants many key elements of basic photography and encouraged them to form a hobby group. It was not long before the loose group of enthusiasts who got together after their daily routines to talk about their common passion for photography become a legitimate organization with professional membership and budding artistic goals. Soon the club went on to hold photo contest with increasing regularity. Eventually, with the addition of new members, the club expanded its vision for experimentation. This willingness to break the borders led to the streak of Sinulog Grand Prizes victories. As Images popularity continued to rise, more and more local and expatriate members join the club. Throughout the years, there has been consistent membership gathering s, internal photo contest, prestigious national and international wins, continual skill development seminars and workshops and various artistic exercises that have enhanced members talent, added valuable shots to their portfolios and increase the overall visibility of the club as a potent mover of society. As photo technology evolved quickly during the late 90s the first members move on to consider digital photography. Soon the rest of the group fully went digital, recognizing the benefit of this technological inovation to their craft, alongside the rest of the world. Images shifted its perspective to todays modern approach to photography. Now the club includes digital post production workshops as part of its routine mentoring programs. Just as much as its value skill enhancement and artistic motivation. the club is mindful of its origin : that all this is founded on good old -fashioned fun and camaraderie, Although the present culture is all about healthy competition, about pushing each other to do better and reach greater heights, it keeps the founding values of the past. Photography to Images Camera Club, is still about making friends, and finding other human beings to share a common passion.
