Salisbury PC Previously known as Salisbury Camera Club, members voted to change its name to Salisbury Photography Club to reflect its interests in all aspects of photography: from taking and creating images, to developing knowledge and skills. “The club has used Zoom extensively to keep members in contact in difficult times, and will continue to do so, inviting more prestigious speakers to talk in wide-ranging genres,” says chairman Richard Ramsey. He continues: “As keen photographers, our competitions keep us up to speed, and this season our aim is to take time to discuss and critique images as a group – in addition to judging. A more holistic approach is key to everyone feeling they have a say, and the judges have embraced this philosophy. “Inclusivity is an essential element in our forward thinking, to share ideas that members have and incorporate valuable experience and technical know-how that will empower progress.” The club has a new website, and visitors can flick through to explore updated information, advice, tips, news and events. salisburyphotographyclub.com

The quality of work produced across the membership in a range of genres has been immensely encouraging.” During the pandemic, the society convened weekly via Zoom, but it’s now looking forward to resuming meetings, subject to government and venue guidance.
