The Camera Club of New York (CCNY) is a not-for-profit arts organization with a serious commitment to the field of photography in all its creative aspects for the past 125 years. CCNY was formed in 1884 as The Society for Amateur Photographers of New York and became the Camera Club of New York in 1897. Some of the prominent photographers who have been members of the club and worked in its darkrooms include Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, and Gertrude Kasebier. Past lecturers have included Margaret Bourke-White, Arnold Newman, Richard Avedon, Bruce Davidson, Henry Horenstein, Sylvia Plachy,
Antonin Kratochvil, and Larry Fink.
CCNY is dedicated to continuing its long tradition of welcoming both photographers and devotees of photography and encouraging their participation through memberships, classes, lectures, exhibitions and a residency program. Since its founding CCNY has nurtured many talented photographers whose careers cover a wide range of disciplines, including portraiture,
photojournalism, fashion, street photography, advertising, documentary and fine art.
