About Us
The Photography Club will provide a creative and developmental space on campus for students interested in the art of photography. It will provide communal space and equipment for students to use for photography within the IIT Student Code of Conduct, as well as assist students in building skills in the field of photography through lessons and group sessions. These materials will be under supervised use by members of the executive board in order to maintain usability for all members. The club will also serve to collaborate with other student organizations at IIT to take pictures at their events when requested and allow Photography Club members to gain experience and build their portfolio if they choose to volunteer for these collaborations. The Photography club will make the discipline of photography accessible to IIT students, while ensuring responsibility and safety of students while engaging in organized activities. The Photography Club will educate students on principles of art, such as composition, value, color balance, and focus, as well as the scientific aspects of photography like exposure, film photography, development, and printing. As the Elevate Underground space has been approved for digital media, this would be an ideal space to house a studio; however, it would be ideal to have separate locks for this space in order to protect organization equipment from damage and theft.
