IMAGES ALBERTA CAMERA CLUB

Images Alberta Camera Club (IACC), based in Edmonton, AB, was founded in 1975 and is still full of vitality. It currently has about 190 members (from beginner to intermediate to advanced) who share a passion for photography. Read about our history.

Our three pillars are to learn, support the community, and have fun.

WHAT WE DO

We meet at 7:30 on the 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month from September to May (except in December when we meet on the 2nd Thursday only). On the 2nd Thursday, we have a guest speaker and a member showcase. The 4th Thursday is competition night, which is a golden opportunity for members to show their work and also to learn about the art of critiquing images.

We offer a variety of activities to our members: workshops, outings, and special interest groups. We also lend our support to community events, promote our members' work, and host exhibits.

FEATURED MEMBER: Bill Vanden Born

Bill Vanden Born joined the Images Alberta Camera Club (IACC) back in 2004, and feels he has benefited immensely.

He returned to photography following retirement. A week-long course with Freeman Patterson instilled the idea that you “make” a picture in your head. His subjects are most often extracted pieces of our everyday environments. Bill’s photos bring focus to the lines, shapes, and patterns in the things that surround us.
