FotoKlub: A Space for Photographers

Join Northampton Open Media’s FotoKlub for a monthly gathering to learn through the lens of photography. Participants share and discuss their work, picking up ideas on composition, technique, and visual storytelling from one another. For over a century, photographs have carried cultural meaning, recording both everyday life and patterns of change. This group offers space to strengthen creative practice and explore how images reflect community stories and personal perspectives.


Self-Directed Learning

Discover the evolution of photography from the ancient camera obscura to the powerful cameras in modern smartphones, highlighting the inventions, techniques, and cultural shifts that shaped how people capture and share images. This video supports learning in art history, science, and media studies by encouraging experiments with techniques from different eras, such as pinhole photography, black-and-white film, or digital editing, while reflecting on how technology shapes perspective.
