READERS of The Press are being given the chance to show off their photography skills by joining the new Press Camera Club.

We know we have some talented amateur photographers among our readers, and with so much to photograph across the region - from beautiful countryside to colourful city events - we’d love to see what York and North and East Yorkshire looks like through your lens.

York Press:

Our Facebook group has been set up to bring together like-minded snappers and enable everyone to share and talk about their latest pictures.

The group is for everyone from seasoned amateurs to budding new photographers, whether you’ve got all the latest kit or just an eye for taking a fantastic picture on your smartphone.

We’d love to see your pictures capturing life in our area and anything eye-catching you might see while out and about.

Send your snaps of everything from community events large or small, new angles on familiar places or even breaking news if you find yourself in the middle of the action.

We will select a Picture of the Month each month, with the winner receiving a £50 prize.

If you’re someone looking to build up a portfolio of published work, or just want your work to be seen, this could be the ideal opportunity for you.

There will be regular slots for members’ pictures to appear both in print and online galleries and we look forward to seeing all your fantastic shots.
