Curated by Gabe Simon & Dr Monica A. Walker
7 April - 2 May 2025
Open View 10 April @ 7:00 PM
For 140 years, The Camera Club has been at the heart of photographic excellence, innovation, and artistic exploration. As the longest continuously running photography club in the world, we are proud to present "The Art of Seeing – 140 Years of Photography at The Camera Club", an extraordinary exhibition celebrating the rich history and evolving artistry of photography.
Curated by Gabe Simon and Dr Monica A. Walker, this exhibition brings together a remarkable selection of images from our vast collection, spanning over a century of photographic practice. From the earliest experiments in monochrome to the latest digital advancements, each piece showcases the universal themes that have shaped photography—the pursuit of light, composition, storytelling, and human connection.
Through the lens of time, "The Art of Seeing" invites visitors to explore how technology and artistic vision have transformed photography, yet how its essence—its ability to capture and convey emotion, beauty, and truth—remains timeless. This exhibition is not just a retrospective but a testament to the enduring power of the photographic image, revealing how generations of photographers have engaged with the world through their cameras.
Join us for the Open View on 10 April and step into 140 years of history, innovation, and the evolving art of photography. Whether you are a long-time member, an emerging photographer, or simply an admirer of the craft, this is a celebration of our legacy, our passion, and our shared vision.
Come and see photography as you have never seen it before.
This exhibition has also been supported by the work of Rod Tidman, Gaby Alvarez, and Felix Hall-Close.
