With almost 300 active members, Lehigh Valley Photography Club is one of the largest photography clubs in America. To ensure the continuity of this very active group, a discount is being offered in the category for high school, vocational and college students who want to learn more about photography, whether to become more proficient as a hobbyist or to understand the nuts and bolts of being a professional. Students may join with their first year free, using a discount code.

Speakers are from all areas of the photo community. Recent speakers included internationally acclaimed photographers Vincent Versace and Joe McNally, as well as Kristi Odom, a member of International League of Conservation Photographers and a Nikon Ambassador. In addition to the main speakers, there are sub groups, called interest groups, on topics such as commercial photography, lightroom software, Capture One, Photoshop, agricultural photography, underwater photography and film photography.

Another benefit is that membership unlocks access to content not visible to casual website visitors - i.e., presentations, workshops and meetings. Members can also take advantage of sponsor discounts by such companies as Dan’s Camera City, Skylum software, Lensbaby, Think Tank Photo and more.

Meetings will be 7 p.m. the third Thursday of the month, in a hybrid-meeting style.
