Meetup: Nell's Rock

Introduction

The Shelton Digital Photography Club is based in Shelton High School where students have an opportunity to join and be in an environment that is serious yet fun. Everyone learns from each other, questions are never stupid, and experience is gained. The goal is to help all from any level to have the opportunity to take pictures in situations they may have not been able to before have the chance to. Enthusiasm for photography is optional but greatly recommended since most is hands-on during the course of the year. The Digital Photography Club warmly welcomes those who are aspiring to become a model or just like to be in front of a camera. They will be able to actively participate during the meetings and can learn a lot about the fast-paced industry of modeling.

Started in 2008, the DPC has been growing strong with many active members who thoroughly enjoy the benefits of being a member which include, but are not limited to: 

-Exposure to a bigger market

-Chances to photograph portraits in many situations

-Post processing techniques and tutorials

-And even more

For now, this is only open to students, but hopefully in the future will include a larger audience. It's amazing what one person can do to spark the creativity and minds of so many in such a short time. 

Always,

Cassidy
