THE LATEST FROM THE FCC
F/Stop November 2025
November is the time many of our Clubs hold their AGM and start organising end-of-year events.
This F-Stop focusses on some recent exhibitions Clubs have organised, and exhibitions and resources you can access to strengthen your photography.
F/Stop InterClub Edition 2025
Congratulations to all 19 Clubs which entered the 2025 InterClub competition.
This year’s InterClub was tougher than ever. Almost one quarter of all the FCC-affiliated Clubs in NSW and the ACT
competed, up two Clubs on 2024. More than half the Clubs were based outside of Sydney.
F/Stop October 2025
One of my priorities is to increase the profile of FCC Clubs in the broader community. This is important for many reasons – not least being to attract new
and younger members to our Clubs.
BECOME AN AFFILIATED CLUB
If you’re a camera club looking to connect with like-minded creatives, the FCC offers a vibrant platform to learn, compete, and grow. Whether through workshops, exhibitions, competitions, or newsletters, our goal is to nurture photographic talent and strengthen the community of visual storytellers throughout NSW and the ACT.
