Photography Club
The Granville Center for the Arts Photography Club offers a welcoming environment for all photographers! Whether you're hitting the shutter button for the first time or a seasoned shutter pro, this is the spot to mingle, swap photo tales, hone your camera skills, and find your new photography besties.
Embrace the monochromatic magic with January's theme, "Black & White World." Delve into the art of photography as we embark on a captivating photo walk through the picturesque streets of downtown Granville. This journey invites you to immerse yourself in a world where colors fade into the background, leaving a canvas ripe for exploring the dramatic interplay of light, shadow, and contrast. This unique opportunity to view life through a black & white lens is not just a creative challenge but a chance to hone your photography skills. By focusing on the essentials of light and its nuances, you'll sharpen your artistic eye, learning to capture the essence of a moment without the distraction of colors.
This is a fun, no-pressure gathering to geek out over all things photography and to partake in a photo walk through the scenic avenues of downtown Granville, complemented by thoughtfully designed photo challenges to refine your craft. Any camera will work (phone, film, digital, etc.), so don't be discouraged if you don't have the latest and greatest DSLR.
