“Black and white photography strips an image down to its essentials, light and shadow.” Said Vice President and Co-founder Shawn Pierce. “This show challenges our members to see the world differently and rely on the fundamentals of composition and exposure while inviting viewers to slow down and really take in the simple beauty of black & white photography.”

The Greater Rochester Camera Club provides photographers of all skill levels with opportunities to learn, collaborate, and grow. Through monthly meetings, outings, and monthly challenges, GRCC fosters an open and supportive environment centered on continuous improvement. Exhibitions like the Summer Show extend that mission beyond the club, offering members the opportunity to present their work in a professional gallery setting and engage with a broader audience.
