The Camera Naturalist Photo Club has been in existence since 1971 and is one of the few photography clubs in New Jersey dedicated strictly to the art of nature photography. Our members range from beginner to professional and we offer a great opportunity to anyone interested in photography to learn from other photographers who share a special appreciation for our natural world.

Our club meetings are held at the Somerset Environmental Center in Basking Ridge, NJ from September through June at 7:30 pm. Our meetings are open to the public and we always welcome new members. We invite you to explore our web site and see what our members have been up to. Interested in visiting us?
