Pursuing the Art of Photography

The Whaling City Camera Club is a group of people of all ages and photographic abilities who share a common interest and passion for the art of photography. We believe the best method of understanding the art of photography is through education and the sharing of ideas and mentoring between members.

To do this, we offer a range of activities for our members, including:

• Regular meetings (twice monthly) including workshops and outside speakers

• Field trips and special events

• Photo competitions

• Special club photo exhibitions

• Opportunities to participate in events and competitions with other clubs and organizations

Guests are welcome at most club meetings and events.

About Chane Cullens:

Rhonda Cullens received her first camera at age seven, following her father and grandfather’s love of photography. She took photography classes in high school and college, where she met Chane. After Chane bought his first camera, they began photographing together. They photographed their two sons’ sports activities and now photograph their travels and the world around them.

Rhonda and Chane give presentations and workshops at photography conferences and camera clubs. They are residents of Sandy Hook, Connecticut, and are active board members of the Flagpole Photographers Camera Club, where Rhonda serves as the Exhibit Chair. They compete and exhibit in New England and beyond and have held their own solo exhibits. Their largest exhibit featured over 300 of their photos at the Newtown Municipal Center.

Member Profile:

Amanda Leeland

"In 2017, I was attending UMass Dartmouth pursuing a bachelor's degree that I felt was going to be my career however, I switched majors to photography. Which I had hoped would change my perspective on what I considered a career.  I had thought photography could be a hobby for me, but instead I turned it into my career choice and couldn't be happier. Being a club member has opened my heart and mind about photography, helping me to learn new skills that I could not have learned in only a classroom. Through the club I have meet many new people that helped build my knowledge on different photography topics. I currently have a passion for portraits, photojournalism and travel photography."

Amanda Leeland is the current president of the Whaling City Camera Club.
