The St. Louis Camera Club is a group of photographers of widely varying interests and every skill level, from those first discovering photography and learning the basics to professional photographers. What we all have in common is a desire to learn more about photography, share our experiences and enjoy the company of like-minded friends. Our primary focus is on education through our various meetings and competitions.The Mission of the Club is to promote the art and science of photography in a social environment where photographers of all skill levels are welcomed. The Club embraces the advancement of photography through member education, innovation, technology and creativity.The St. Louis Camera Club is one of the oldest photography clubs in the United States, holding its first meeting on February 12, 1914, with a group of five amateur photographers headed by Oscar Kuehn. The Club outgrew meetings in members’ homes and has since held meetings in community centers and libraries. The Club’s first exhibition of 150 prints was in April 1915. Over the years, many St. Louisans have gained photographic proficiency in the St. Louis Camera Club.
