THE transformative power of photography takes centre stage at the Tomaree Peninsula Photography Club’s annual exhibition “Click” to be held on Saturday and Sunday, 25–26 October, at the Soldiers Point Bowling Club.
The exhibition is a striking visual showcase featuring award-winning photographs, creative compositions, and a special collection of iPhone photography.
It underscores photography’s unique ability to freeze a moment in time, whether through the lens of a professional camera or a simple tap on a mobile phone.
“Photography has the ability to evoke emotions, tell stories, and inspire change,” said club president Lianne Manley.
“We hope this exhibition celebrates our members’ talents, and also encourages people to see the world differently and perhaps try photography themselves.”
A highlight of this year’s “Click” exhibition will be four large winning images from the club’s monthly competitions across the categories of Colour, Black and White, Macro, and Creative/Altered Reality.
Alongside these standout works, visitors can enjoy a diverse display of prints and digital images showcasing the natural beauty of Port Stephens and beyond.
In an effort to make photography more accessible, the exhibition will feature a dedicated display of smartphone photography.
“It’s not about the camera you have, it’s about what you see,” Ms Manley added.
Attendees will have the opportunity to vote for their favourite photo, purchase prints, and meet the photographers behind the lens to learn more about their creative process.
The exhibition is free and is open from 10am to 4pm daily
Founded in 2008 over a cup of coffee, the Tomaree Peninsula Photography Club has grown into a vibrant community of photography enthusiasts.
The club meets monthly and hosts themed competitions and field outings designed to sharpen members’ skills and spark inspiration.
