The Coastal Photo Club was conceived in 1991 and has grown and flourished since then. The club, based in New Bern, covers much of eastern North Carolina drawing members from as far as Greenville, Morehead City and Swansboro. Over the years we have grown to 100+ members with skill levels ranging from novice to professional, and skill sets running the gamut. These include photo shooting, image editing, and digital manipulation. In addition to regular monthly meetings and competitions we also conduct training and mentoring sessions, take field trips to interesting shooting locations, and give back to the community through photography-related service projects. We are a learning and teaching group, our purpose is to promote the hobby and art form of picture taking and we welcome interested parties of any and all skill levels.

During the next couple months members of the Coastal Photo Club will once again be in various areas of New Bern photographing Parks and Cemeteries. This is not idle hobby picture taking, they are recording the way New Bern looks in the 2020s for posterity, to keep a record of the city’s changes for future residents and historians to reference. This is phase IV of a project in conjunction with the New Bern Historical society.
