Helping more Shutterbugs to fly!
Hosted by Corinna Adams from Heaven & Earth Photography, the shutterbug club is a supportive environment in Albury/Wodonga for NDIS participants who are interested in photography. The aim of the club is to improve mental health and self confidence, encourage creativity and be active. Shutterbugs will have the opportunity to share their work, interact with others, get tips and learn new tricks, exhibit their work and enter competitions.
About The Shutterbug Club.
Joining The Shutterbug Club is a great opportunity for NDIS participants to develop their creative skills while exploring the beauty of the world. Photography is a therapeutic activity that can help people with disabilities to build confidence, self esteem and social connections. The group is a supportive environment where Shutterbugs can learn from each other, share their experiences, and create meaningful art. By taking part in this group they will have the chance to express themselves, learn new techniques and showcase their work to the community.
The Shutterbug club is a private and moderated group on Facebook where members can upload up to 2 photos per day and comment, encourage each other and learn. In order to keep the group as supportive and positive as possible, all posts have to be approved by admin before they are added to the group.
Membership is a once off payment of $60 and $15 per month.
$60 once off payment : covers admin fees and a welcome pack that is sent to your home.
$15 recurring payment : This small ongoing monthly payment allows access to the group for as long you would like to remain in the group. There is no contract and you can cancel anytime.
