HPCHilo Photography Club
The Hilo Photography Club is based on the Big Island of Hawai’i, and has been meeting monthly since 1978. Our members all have a common interest in photography and in sharing their craft/profession/hobby with others. Skills range from novice to professional. We currently have around 70 members from all parts of the Big Island.
The club holds a meeting every month. We often have demonstrations, slide shows from members or invited photographers, invited lectures, in-club photo contests and exhibits, discussions about upcoming contests, photographic technique, technology, equipment, digital manipulation, darkroom, etc. This monthly meeting is usually the 3rd Wednesday of the month, at 7 p.m, at the Kamana Senior Center, 127 Kamana St. in Hilo Google Map.

Photo Review – This is one of the most popular sessions we have because the judges Chris James lines up give in-depth feedback on the images entered. This in-depth look is something that we photographers seldom get, that’s why we like it.
