About

Hartlepool Camera Club meets each Monday and Tuesday evening (barring public holidays) from 6:30pmPM-9.00PM, Room 10 in the People’s Centre, Raby Road, Hartlepool.
We have a spacious and well-equipped portrait studio, complete with professional lighting and backdrops.


We offer tuition in basic photography techniques for beginners and are also equipped to offer tuition to beginners in the use of digital photo-manipulation programs such as Photoshop Elements.
We are affiliated to the Northern Counties Photographic Federation (NCPF) and make use of their registered Judges for our regular photo competitions.

We have a darkroom facility for members who wish to experience processing their own work and learning the art of image manipulation in the raw.


We provide a full and varied diary of events throughout the year, including competitions, guest speakers, audio-visual lectures, studio nights and outings. We even (occasionally) take a short holiday together!


The Club is open to ALL comers, whether absolute beginners or seasoned photographers.
Membership fees are currently set at £20 for the year, but don’t worry… we won’t demand money from you the second you walk in the door!


Feel free to visit and check us out first. If you like what you see and want to continue visiting… then we’ll ask you to get your wallet out!

We do ask that members pay £2 per visit – this does not go to the Camera Club but goes towards the upkeep of Hartlepool Peoples Centre.
