The Photography Club has been part of the KAUST community since 2010. If you work, live, or study at KAUST, you are welcome to join the club. We are a place for photographers of all levels of ability to meet and share our enthusiasm for photography, learn new techniques, and improve our skills.
The club has a dedicated studio in the ECC3 building (formally Safaa Gardens Daycare), which includes photography equipment and a learning area for members. Even if you do not own a camera, you are welcome to join us and practice with the club’s camera, available for members to use during the workshops organized in the studio.
We offer a number of workshops throughout the year, which can appeal to all photographers, from more experienced to novices. We offer activities on understanding how to use studio equipment, such as studio flashes, that we use for a multitude of workshops such as studio portraits, product photography, macro, and light painting. We encourage discussion among members through some showcase sessions, in which we show photos from members and discuss all together composition and technique.
Club members are welcome to attend the workshops and propose any topic they would like to be covered. The photography club is currently free to join.
The club is currently run through a WhatsApp group
To join the club, email photography.sdg@gmail.com to be added to the WhatsApp group
