Gisborne Camera Club

A Closer Look at Gisborne Camera Club

The Gisborne Camera Club has been a fixture in the local arts scene since 1959. As part of the PSNZ network, the club is known for running salons and competitions in genres such as nature and portraiture. In 2024 it hosted the North Island Regional Convention, bringing together photographers from across the region for a programme of events and shared learning.

The club suits both experienced photographers and those looking to build their skills through regular competitions and feedback. Members benefit from the structure of a long-established group that maintains strong ties to the national photography community while focusing on practical opportunities to exhibit and improve work.

The Setting

Based in Gisborne, the club meets at the Senior Citizens Association on 30 Grey Street. This central location provides easy access for residents and supports the club’s focus on local subjects, particularly nature photography that draws on the surrounding landscapes and coastal environment.

Meetings take place on the third Thursday of every month from February to November at 7:30pm. The consistent schedule and central venue make it straightforward for people to attend and take part in the club’s programme of activities.
