What We Do

Where Creativity and Photography come alive

Our passion is to capture, create and connect!

For over 70 years, we’ve been a home for photographers on Sydney’s North Shore to connect, share, and grow their passion. Our club was the first club to embrace creativity in photography.

Since 1952, Northside Creative Photography has been a dynamic and welcoming community for image-makers of all levels. A non-profit and run by volunteers, you'll find a supportive and inspiring environment here, whether you’re a novice or experienced pro.
