‘It ranges from people who take photos as a hobby through to professionals and multi-award winners,’ she said.
Mrs Shoosmith said it was open to people who had just picked up a camera as well as those with more experience, but ideally members should own a digital SLR camera.
The club will hold formal meetings on the first and third Tuesdays of each month, but will have their first meeting tonight, July 29 at the Jenolan Way Community Centre from 7.30pm to 9.30pm.
Mrs Shoosmith said they would hold workshops in specialised areas of photography, such as night, landscape and portrait photography.
The group is linked to the WA Photographic Federation and membership fees will be $40 for the remainder of 2014.
