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 Silvana Della:

Based in New England, I’ve spent years chasing the Milky Way over Maine’s and Cape Cod’s coastlines and Vermont’s rolling hills, turning fleeting celestial moments into timeless art. My journey began with a love for photography and astronomy, later inspired by New England’s areas of dark skies, and has grown into a mission to teach others how to create stunning Astro landscape images. Whether through my book, Night Shades: A Guide to Photography After Dark, or hands-on workshops, I empower aspiring photographers to master the art of low-light shooting. Join me to explore the beauty of the cosmos and New England’s landscapes!

Where:

7pm at North Branch Dartmouth Public Library

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.
