Sharing ideas and knowledge to promote creativity and learning photography. As photographers we want to expand our abilities and to promote growth of artistic and technical knowledge of photography. We will accomplish this through monthly meetings, presentations and field trips.
We are an informal, friendly, and supportive environment for photographers at all levels of experience and with interests in all types of photographic imagery. The Club fosters and encourages growth of artistic vision and technical knowledge, exploring the connection between the eye, the camera, and the spirit. We share ideas and knowledge with each other and help to promote interest in photography.

Turning Moments Into Art
Pressing the shutter on your camera is the work of a fleeting moment.
And yet, as photographers we understand it to be so much more than that.
Learning, planning, preparing, equipping and preparation of the final image are all aspects of our craft which we celebrate at Clwb Camera Cefni.
All the images seen on this website are the work of our membership.

About Us & Our History
An Historical Perspective: B. Grail (Chairman)
The club was formed when Dr Glyn Jones of Brysiencyn approached Derec Owen about setting up a club in central Anglesey to encourage local photographers. Derec recruited local individuals that he knew were interested in photography and approached Warren Morris and Edyth Harrison, who at that time ran the photographic club at Anglesey County Council, to set up Clwb Camera Cefni.
I joined the club around 2016 and was immediately taken by the enthusiasm of its members and the welcoming, friendly atmosphere. Meetings were held in the church hall adjacent to St Cyngar’s church every fortnight. Edyth Harrison was the club secretary and was a major force behind the organisation and the success of the club. As mentioned, Edyth has been a club member since its early days and carried out the role of secretary for probably best part of 30 years. Her commitment to the club was recognised by the North Wales Photographic Association (NWPA), who awarded her “Hon NWPA”. I took over the role of Chairman from Joe Groom when he relocated to Scotland to be nearer family.
In 2019 the COVID 19 pandemic brought our meetings to an abrupt halt and prevented face-to-face meetings. This forced inactivity took a toll on the club such that it was difficult to see what the future held for it. However there was a real enthusiasm amongst local photographers to get the club and up and running again. So with help from the NWPA and members taking on the roles of secretary, treasurer and programme secretary a schedule of monthly talks was launched in February 2023. The meetings moved to a new venue, Canolfan Ebeneser, and have been well supported with new members eager to see the club succeed. Hopefully the club will go from strength to strength and can be a prominent and active member of the NWPA.
Please contact our Secretary if you are able to offer additional details with regard to the history of the Clwb.
