studio photography sessions with models at an external studio.

Members'
photos
Members
are a mixture of ex-professionals who have been part-time wedding
photographers using large cameras, to complete novices with compact
point-and-shoot equipment.
The
club has a small selection of studio lighting and backdrop equipment.
Some members also bring their own studio gear which comes in handy
when several photographers are sharing at a shoot.

All members of the club are constantly improving their compositions.
This comes about by listening to the KCPA Judges' comments about their
work and applying those techniques.
According
to the club's secretary, Glen Diamond, "there is always something
fresh to learn."
