Welcome to the Department of Social Work – Photography Club page, a dynamic and inclusive community where creativity, storytelling and social responsibility converge through the art of photography. The club founded with a vision to inspire artistic expression and drive meaningful changes, which is also a vibrant platform for students, faculties and staff members from the University to hone their photographic skills while making a tangible impact on society.

At the heart of our mission is the belief that photography is more than capturing moments—it’s a powerful tool for advocacy, awareness, and transformation. We can blend visual artistry with social consciousness, encouraging members to explore photography as both a creative outlet and a catalyst for positive changes of social life. Our club is structured with dedicated leadership roles, including President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and coordinators for events, social media, and community engagement, ensuring professional and organised operations.

 The University Photography Club is more than a club—it’s a movement that bridges creativity and community development. Through mentorship from faculties, alumni and professionals. Organising annual exhibitions and collaborative projects, we empower our members to create images that resonate, inspire, and transform. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or just starting out, we welcome you to join us in capturing the world through a lens of compassion, creativity, and purpose.

Together, let’s focus on what matters, frame the future, and make a difference.
