HISTORY OF CAULFIELD PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY

Photography has been a part of Caulfield almost from the time it was first settled. Through to 1983 there were clubs in the district at East Malvern, at Caulfield Technical College (now a Campus of Monash University) and at Carnegie. The present club commenced its life as St Anthony's Camera Club founded by Paul Robinson in 1980. The club mutated through several phases including 1989, when the first Introduction to Photography Course was held. This put the club on a more sound financial and membership footing. In 1991 the club moved to the Parish Hall at St Peters Church in Carnegie with a change of name to Caulfield Photographic Society. As of April, 2023, the time came that we needed to move on to new club rooms and with the support of the Caulfield R.S.L. we are now located at their premises in St. Georges Road, Elsternwick. Club members have been extremely successful at Club, State, National and International Photographic Competitions and Exhibitions. These members have become highly respected members of the amateur photographic movement. The club continues to provide services to its members and it is also a member of the Victorian Association of Photographic Societies Inc (VAPS).

Thanks to the Royal Hotel, Mornington, for hosting our annual club lunch. A wonderful meal and some of us braved the cool weather to wander down the beach to find some photo opportunities.

Great talk tonight from Fiona Basile: Photographer & Writer, on creating coffee table books. This talk was more than just a “how to”, she touched on the creative input and the personal stories needed to give soul to your work.

Thanks to Fiona, and to Lydia and Debbie for sharing their stories.

Our last competition was our annual in-house judging. Three of our club members “volunteer” to critique and score in a more international competition style. It’s a fairly daunting task to critique your fellow club members but it gives an insight in to how subjective judging can be.
We finished the evening with a light supper and drinks, which may have had something to do with the big turnout.
