Presidents Message

Dear Members and Friends,

Welcome to the Orlando Camera Club!

Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or just beginning your journey behind the lens, I’m thrilled to have you as part of our vibrant community. The Orlando Camera Club is more than just a place to share images—it’s a space to grow, learn, and connect with others who share your passion for photography.

As President, I’m proud of the creativity, camaraderie, and curiosity that define our club. We offer a wide range of opportunities to expand your skills, including workshops, photo walks, competitions, guest speakers, and community outreach projects. Our members inspire one another through shared experiences and diverse perspectives, and I encourage you to dive in and participate as much as you can.

Whether you’re interested in landscape, portrait, wildlife, street, or abstract photography, you’ll find a welcoming environment here to explore your interests and challenge yourself. We believe that every image tells a story—and we can’t wait to see yours.
Thank you for joining us. Let’s make this year one of discovery, growth, and unforgettable moments.

SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS (SIG): On the 1st Monday of the month, we have a Zoom call for our SIG:  Abstract. Everything but Abstract  (EBA)  You can visit each group to see which topic interests you most and attend the field trips planned throughout the year.

COMPETITIONS/MEETINGS: On the 2nd Monday of every other month, we alternate between our formal competition and in-person meetings at the Marks Street Senior Center downtown. Our formal competition is on Zoom. Images are judged in 4 categories: Color A: Advanced, and Color B: Beginners, Creative, and Monochrome. The OCC also has informal competitions where all are welcome to submit 1-2 images, and fellow members can cast up to 2 votes for their favorite photos. The prize for winning an informal competition? Bragging rights and a smile!

GUEST SPEAKERS: The 4th Monday is a Zoom presentation by nationally recognized photographers who share their expertise and insight into their specific style. Zooms have become essential to OCC as our members live all around Central Florida, allowing everyone to participate in our meetings. However, we also encourage attendance at our in-person meetings so we can build a stronger community.

Our primary mission is to educate, celebrate, and support our members. We offer Camera Academy once a year. It is at the Marks Street Senior Center, provided on the 2nd Monday of the month, one hour before the in-person meeting, which is open to photographers of every level.

CAMERA ACADEMY: Covers four areas: 1) Know Your Camera, 2) The Exposure Triangle, 3) Composition,    4) What we learned.

The Orlando Camera Club is where you can become involved in all aspects of photography, improve your skills, and build lasting friendships.  You can come to OCC with little or no knowledge of digital photography and grow with the club in knowledge and experience.

I invite you to browse all the possibilities and great opportunities on our website, and if you like what you see, join in the fun!!

Warm Regards, Mary Wood

OCC, President – 2025-2026
