Photography Club: Action Plan 2015

This year, I am taking charge of the Photography Club at school. I am not a professional photographer, but I am a photography enthusiast. I have designed the following objectives and activities for the academic year 2015.

Photography Club: Action Plan 2015

Aims & Objectives

· To develop creative skills and technical abilities in the craft and art of photography, as well as to gain a basic understanding of camera functions.

· To share photographic knowledge and experience with others.

· To provide a meeting place for those interested in photography and, where practical, to offer advice and assistance to members—including guidance on careers and the future of photography.

· To make the enjoyment of photography accessible to a wider community, such as fellow students.

· To promote and cultivate appreciation for the art of photography among the general public.

· To present a large, colored, framed group photo to outgoing staff as a keepsake of colorful memories.

· To organize a group exhibition (photo show) after one year of club activities.

· To plan photo trips (both indoor and outdoor) and, if possible, invite local photographers to share tips with the club.
