Camera Club
Emma runs an online camera club which is separate from AYWMC and the Photo School. If you want to learn a specific skill with a definite outcome then the courses listed above in the Photo School are best for you. If you want to join a community of photographers and dip into a different topic each month then you might prefer the Camera Club.

Registration to the Camera Club opens only four times a year to A Year With My Camera alumni. Join Emma’s once-a-month email newsletter to find out when the next joining date is: click here to join the email list.
