About Salisbury Photography Club
Salisbury Photography Club is a a friendly and inclusive community for photographers of all experience levels. We meet regularly throughout the season, creating opportunities to learn, share ideas and enjoy photography together.
What We Do
Guest Speakers
SPC hosts ten quality guest speakers each season, covering a range of topics aligned to our members interests.
Competitions
We run regular competitions across the season for both printed images and projected digital images (PDIs). This includes open subject leagues, and themed trophies.
Club Nights
Our club nights are more interactive, with small group discussions, hands-on workshops, and member talks.
Special Interest Groups
Informal groups organised by members for hands-on practice outside the regular timetable. Current groups are “Nightjars”, our night photography group, and our studio portrait group.
Inter Club Events
SPC participates in competitions within our wider league structure, as well as “friendlies” with our neighbours.
Club Trips/Outings
SPC hosts trips and outings throughout the year, such as London, Bath and Bristol. We also run outings closer to home, especially through the summer “off-season”.
Member Resources
Members also have access to the club library, which includes a variety of books to borrow throughout the season.

New members are always welcome at SPC. Whether you’re new to photography or have years of experience, we aim to provide a friendly and supportive environment where people can develop their skills and share their enjoyment of photography. For members who are new to photography, or who would like some extra support - please reach out to the committee so we can help you get the most from your membership.
Visitors are also welcome to attend meetings. This gives you the chance to experience the club and meet our members before deciding if SPC is right for you, or perhaps just to attend for a guest speaker of interest.

Salisbury Photography Club, as we know it today, was first set up in 1936; although there are references to Salisbury Camera Clubs as far back as 1904 and even 1895! Initially, with only a few members, lectures were given on the art and practice of photography by well-known photographers of the day. The earliest on record was called “Rising to the Occasion” by Mr W.D. Welford, F.R.P.S - A fellow of the Royal Photographic Society. You can learn more about the history of the club here.
