Welcome to CPS!

The Cleveland Photographic Society isn’t your typical camera club. We are an all-volunteer 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in Broadview Heights, Ohio which offers a variety of activities for members and visitors alike — from guest speakers to special interest groups, competitions to classes.

Announcements

October 25th Speaker – Special Agent Justin Soroka

We are very fortunate to have Justin Soroka discussing the principles of forensic/crime scene photography, and how it is the same and different from traditional photography. Topics presented will include unique subject matter photographs, such as trace evidence, comparison quality photographs and alternate light source photographs. For Justin’s biography and more information on the presentation click hereDue to the nature of Justin’s work, the presentation will be in person only, live at the clubhouse.  It will not be broadcast live on YouTube or Zoom, and will not be recorded for future viewing.  We encourage you to attend in person as this is a rare opportunity to learn about a unique application of photography, not normally presented at a camera club. 

Change in Number of Photojournalism Entries Permitted

Last season a decision was made to increase the number of entries permitted for Photojournalism nights from five to seven. However, the change was not made in ShutterScore or this website.  That has been corrected. Seven photos can now be entered for a Photojournalism night.

Field Trip Gallery

Members are encouraged to submit photos from the many filed trips sponsored by the Cleveland Photographic Society.  Email photos to info@clevelandphoto.org and include “Field Trip” in the Subject line. Share your experience with the other members of the club and visitors to our website. Click here to go to the Field Trip Gallery.
