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. We have a syllabus of led study for our novice and intermediate members. Our advanced members are encouraged to pursue a particular genre or activity each season as part of their self-learning journey.

Nairn Photographic Society meets at the Nairn Community and Arts Centre on Tuesdays at 7.30pm to 9.30pm from September to April. with a formal programme. In addition we have regular opportunities outwith the Tuesday night programme during weekend or other mid-week dates to take part in other photographic activities. Over the summer months we engage with a mixture of social and on-location meet-ups to take photographs at various venues. 

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.
