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 (virtually!) at 7:00 p.m. 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.

PANDEMIC-OGRAPHY: Hope Photography Contest

The Today Centre is inviting you to help us honour Family Violence Prevention Month in Alberta with our photo contest.

The theme of "Hope" is open to interpretation. We wanted to keep it very broad, so that everyone can find a way to display hope in their photo. Participants will be able to share their entry to their social media pages (or email!) directly from the gallery that will be displayed on our website. In addition, the public will be able to vote daily for their favourite entries using their email. Prizes for the contest will be announced throughout the campaign - so keep your eyes peeled on our website and social media for updates!

Mufty's Musings: October Musings

"I’ve just left the SIG Images Zoom meeting. I have to admit to being late, so no socializing first, however as my computer doesn’t have a camera in it, no one can see me. Oh well! I can just listen and surely listen is what more of us need to learn to do anyway. Loved hearing all about the SIGs and loved seeing so many wonderful images.."
