The Ulster County Photography Club (UCPC) began in late 2005 as a forum for local photographers of varying levels of expertise, including beginners and the more advanced. The club provides a community for photographers in which there is the opportunity for discussion, networking, and growth.  

     Competitions and  critiques have become standard activities at our meetings; participants find the feedback they receive as well as the opportunity to assess other’s works  to be invaluable.  We also have a extensive list of Guest Speakers who  regularly present, and we are now linked to the Hudson Valley Photography Network:  hvphotonet.

Our Mission:  The Club shall provide a forum for discussion and networking for its membership. It will focus on individual and common needs, expertise and interest, thereby establishing a resource for learning and improving  all  aspects of photography, including but not limited to equipment, shooting techniques, editing, and printing. It shall be a community of photographers whose degree of expertise is varied, but whose  willingness  to contribute and assist others in the club is a given.
