Selectors for 2024

The club invites selectors to assess each submitted image and we compile the exhibition from the top scoring images.

Debra Bennett

I've always had an interest in photography, inspired by early days in the darkroom with Dad. I joined my first Camera Club in 2014 and realised there was so much to learn. I joined Cambridge Camera Club in 2018 where I made full use of all the Club's Special Interest Groups. They have been and still are a great opportunity to improve my photography skills, there is always something new to learn. I am a Club Council member and was joint Digital Inter Club Coordinator for several years. I became President Elect in 2023 and President in May 2024. I have a passion for Creative and Infrared photography but I appreciate and enjoy looking at images of all kinds.
