Photography club returns to Bucks

It’s been over five years since Bucks has had a photography club, but finally photography lovers have a place to call home.

The newly formed Photography Club gives student photographers a chance to gain feedback on their portfolios, speak about what types of photography inspires them, and even do some photo jobs for the school on occasion.

Thanks to Becky Jones, 25, a childcare major, this spring marks the start of the new club.

Jones said she came across the idea of bringing a new photography club to Bucks when she realized students didn’t have a place to go for photography.

“A lot of my friends had a camera, but didn’t have a club,” said Jones. “It’s fun to see other people’s photos, and be like I’m going to go try that.”

Jones explained that they often take pictures of events at the school.

Some work the photography club has already been able to do includes taking photographs of the Student Government Association (SGA) at their dress rehearsal.

Members of the photography club are expected to attend the Bucks Spring Fling, held on April 28. This will give students the opportunity to have photos taken of them with photo props.

Jones explained that the majority of students who come to the meetings are not necessarily photography majors, but simply students who have an interest in the art of photography.

The purpose of the club is to share techniques and ideas that one would not have normally thought of before, and gain new perspectives about the art of photography.

Jones pushed the fact that all majors are welcome to come out and express their interests.

The Photography Club meets on Mondays at 12:30-1:30 p.m. at the Student Life Conference Room. All students are welcome to show up and bring their work and talk about the art of photography itself.
