Who We Are



The Santa Clarita Valley Photographers Association is a group of dedicated photographers both amateur and professional that meets monthly to learn about photography and share images. Our members are from Santa Clarita and adjoining communities. Besides our monthly meetings the group takes field trips to locations like: the Valley of Fire, Trona Pinnacles, Death Valley, several areas in the Eastern Sierras, Cambria and Big Sur. We participate in expositions at the Valencia Town Center and City Hall. Print and digital image competitions are held at least twice a year. The majority of our members are amateurs at all skill levels of photography. However some members are practicing or retired professionals and belong to the Professional Photographers of America, the National Association of Photoshop Professionals, and other organizations.
