Sun Lakes Camera Club (SLCC) is the largest camera club in the Southeast Valley. We are open to all, not just residents of Sun Lakes! Our members share an interest in photography that reaches beyond the casual snapshot. We appreciate the power and beauty of a great photo and share tips and constructive critiques to improve our images. We welcome all shooting styles and levels of experience.
