Bangalore Photography Club

Principally, we are a bunch of people who encourage and respect creativity in photography as well as in every single thing we do. For us, photography is not just a hobby that we pursue when we have time to spare; we make time for it.

BPC started off in late 2004 with 4 people who met on a Yahoo group. By 2005, considering the enthusiasm in the group growing in number, it was envisioned that BPC could go long way in the field of photography. Group projects such as shoot-trips to nearby locations helped bring the members together as a team, rather than just online peers. 2006 saw the birth of BPC’s first group product, Calendar 2006. This team effort improved the seriousness among the members about photography and doing bigger things together.

Every photographer has certain projects on his wish list, but often needs like minded people to join in, to carry it out on a larger scale. This led to the launch of the website www.bangalorephotographyclub.com, in Feb 2006 in order to draw as many like minded people together as possible. A month later BPC registered as a formal society under the Government of Karnataka. This one step of course, has changed the way BPC thinks now. This was a move from just a weekend club to a full fledged organization with a vision of promoting photography.

Today, BPC is an association of more 800 members. This is an open forum where anyone could come up with ideas aligned with the vision of the club or to promote the club itself, lead the project. ‘Frames of Mind’ is the annual photography exhibition which all members look forward to every year.
