We hold an Annual General Meeting in Hilary term to elect the committee for the following session. At least seven days notice will be given once an AGM has been scheduled. An EGM may be called during the year if a vacancy arises. 

Visit us during office hours and we’d be happy to chat photography.

Members receive a weekly email on Monday evenings outlining events for the following week. We also advertise events on our Instagram page and by posters throughout campus. A listing of upcoming events is available on the Events page.

The equipment available for rental and the rental procedure are available on the equipment page.

You can see the equipment available in our rental stock on the equipment page.

Unfortunately we cannot facilitate ad-hoc equipment rental requests. Ensure to book your equipment with plenty of time as bookings made with less than 48 hours notice generally do not get fulfilled. Pre-booking of equipment is essential.

Yes, we have made available all the lecture notes on the Classes page.

Full details on darkroom access are here. You must book use of the darkroom online in advance. In particular, please note the rules pertaining to darkroom use.

We stock the darkrooms with a limited supply of paper and chemicals but feel free to bring your own resources. A fair usage policy applies to our supplies.

Yes, the Atrium darkroom is equipped with a scanner and computer for scanning film. Details on booking the darkroom are available here and instructions to use the scanner are coming soon.

We are currently working with a few film manufacturers/suppliers to provide us with film and other photographic supplies. When we have products available, we will make an announcement.  

For now, those who come on the annual trip will receive a free roll of film! Or if you ask nicely, the darkroom officer might have some extra film lying around…

Sure, we know lots of great photographers with event experience. Contact us for details, be sure to include full details on your event. We strongly advocate the fair payment of photographers for their service. 

We will still answer you! Contact us!
