ELEMENTS

Founded in August 1928, the Camera Club of the Philippines is the oldest photographic society in Asia. It will launch its 80th year with an exhibition entitled Elements: Photoconstructed Realities.



In this exhibit, the Camera Club will show visual interpretations of four major elements of nature: earth, wind, fire, and water. Using LCD and multi-media technology and state-of-the-art printing, master photographers will showcase images that are exemplars of contemporary Philippine photography. The CCP recognizes the digital revolution that is happening in photography and this exhibit showcases the vast opportunities for art and creativity that are brought about by digital photography and imaging.


Today the CCP lists over a hundred living members, more than half regularly attend the monthly club gatherings at the Hotel Intercontinental Manila, home to these meetings for more than two decades. The members—male and female, from their thirties to their eighties—come from diverse backgrounds and sectors: private corporations and government employees, executives, lawyers, engineers, architects, doctors, accountants, business persons, and professional photographers. What bonds them is their friendship that has grown out of their shared passion for photography. Many have exhibited their works in public like Jaime Zobel de Ayala, Pancho Escaler, Emil Davocol, Bien Bautista, Quincy Castillo, and many others, are well known photographers who have exhibited their work to the public here and abroad.


Ayala Museum is located at the corner of Makati Avenue and De la Rosa Streets, Makati City. It is open from Tuesday-Friday (9AM-6PM); Saturday-Sunday (10AM-7PM). Visit www.ayalamuseum.org.
