East Valley Photo Club, EVPC, 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.

Fundamentals of Digital Photography, will be offered once again this season.
This fun, plain-language course, open to members and non-members alike, is perfect for those new to Digital Photography, as well as intermediate level photographers seeking to improve their technique.
You will learn features and advanced operation of dedicated cameras of all kinds, as well as iPhones and Android smartphones. We’ll clarify which buttons, knobs and menu options are important, and which to ignore. We will then devote the rest of the course to the art of assembling visual elements to craft memorable photographs.
You will experience noticeable improvement with each session. Classes start in January.
