ALL ABILITIES PHOTOGRAPHERS WORKSHOPS

The photographers and carers.
As a camera club we've always considered ourselves as an active part of the wider community rather than a closed group of individual photographers.

Where we can, we'd like to reach out to people who may have difficulty in attending regular club functions and provide them with the opportunity to join in as many activities as possible.

Some time ago we began talks with a local NDIS provider with the view of trialing a program which catered for people who had a disability and who found it difficult to get to meetings, etc.

Checking the photos.


The covid-19 pandemic put an immediate stop to our plans but in the last few weeks we've recommenced the program and are now into our second very successful workshop.

The feedback from those attending was very positive and some of the photos produced showed that we have some highly successful photographers in the making.

Thanks to the carers and the many dedicated people who provide such an amazing level of support and encouragement.
