About Us

Nairn Photographic Society was formed in 1992 by a small group of dedicated amateur photographers. Known locally as Nairn Camera Club, we have grown steadily over the years, weathering the fall-off from the pandemic, and currently have a membership of nearly 30. 

We pride ourselves on the level of encouragement to both old and new members to further improve their photographic skills and knowledge. To this end the club meets from September through to April each year.

Nairn Photographic Society meets at the Nairn Community and Arts Centre on Tuesdays at 7.30pm to 9.30pm from September to April.

If you would like to join us please feel free to come along and give us a try. Your first three visits are completely free, although a nominal fee would normal be required if an external speaker has been booked.
