About VIPC

We welcome photographers of all levels—from beginners to advanced, including professionals. Based in Spain, our club includes members from around the globe, enriching our community with diverse perspectives and inspiring skill refinement while exploring various styles in photography. We embrace all subjects, technical methods, and creative interpretations.

The club regularly organises meetings and events designed for people with an interest in photography. These gatherings offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere where members can exchange their experiences, showcase their work, and inspire one another to further their creative pursuits.

Since 2024, we’ve organized interclub events with photography clubs from various countries, fostering international collaboration. Annually, we hold an exhibition at Centro de Arte, Fuente de Mojácar, showcasing our members' work.

About VIPC - A Brief History

Stanley Baldwin, affectionately known as Stan—or his jazz name, Stan Roberts—founded the Vera Photo Club in 2010. Starting with just three members, the club quickly grew to over 100. Since its inception, the club has served as a hub for individuals passionate about photography, providing numerous opportunities for members to come together and share their enthusiasm for the art form.
