Camera Club of Davao
In Sync of Capturing the Light
by Jojie Alcanatara

Now on its 25th year of servicing the society, the Camera Club of Davao (CCD) is an association of skilled craftsmen brought together by a common love for capturing the light. The club adheres to an unwritten mandate to spur each other to become better artists, as well as to be even better public servants with integrity.

Today, the family has grown into 25 active members composed of professionals, seasoned hobbyists, and full-time photographers, all bonded for the love of documenting life around them. The previously close knitted founding members (some were in the business since the ’70s) now opened their doors to welcome new and young photographers armed with new techniques but eager to embrace the wisdom and experiences of the old ones.

The club has conducted countless seminars and lectures on various subjects of photography, from basic to advance. Its members’ specialties span a wide and varied range of photography: portraits, events, photojournalism, weddings, industrial, fashion restoration, and a myriad of unending line of uses and applications.

On their silver anniversary, CCD members recently published their very first coffee-table book “Culture, Creativity and Diversity,” celebrating the club’s 25 years of commitment to the craft and to Durianburg (Davao’s moniker), as it compiles the best images that the city has to offer.
