We have a membership of about 80 photography enthusiasts keen to share and develop their skills in digital photography.
Skills range from beginners with point and shoot cameras to experienced SLR photographers with many years of experience, willing to share their knowledge with others.  Club activities include monthly workshops, field trips, and interest groups in Photoshop and Audio Visual productions.
Visitors are welcome to attend a workshop held on the 4th Wednesday each month at St Mary's Parish Centre, Pyke Street, Bairnsdale 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm.   Please enter the meetings from the Pyke Street entrance opposite the council office.

Club History

​It all started with three small notices put in the local paper late in 2007 and a get together of interested people was held on 16 December 2007.   About 22 people attended and decided to form a photographic club.  Our Official Formation Meeting was held on 16 February 2008, and the East Gippsland Photographic Society was born.
​
Our Vision: To foster the growth and development of photography in East Gippsland.
Our Mission: East Gippsland Photographic Society is committed to improving the opportunities available to the East Gippsland community to develop their photographic skills and techniques, by learning to make interesting images, entering competitions, National and International exhibitions and attending conventions.  It will provide access for all whenever it can, encompassing a variety of skill levels, ages, gender, socio-economic backgrounds and geographical locations.
