Mission
The Photography Club will provide a creative and developmental space on campus for students interested in the art of photography. It will provide communal space and equipment for students to use for photography within the IIT Student Code of Conduct, as well as assist students in building skills in the field of photography through lessons and group sessions. These materials will be under supervised use by members of the executive board in order to maintain usability for all members. The club will also serve to collaborate with other student organizations at IIT to take pictures at their events when requested and allow Photography Club members to gain experience and build their portfolio if they choose to volunteer for these collaborations. The Photography club will make the discipline of photography accessible to IIT students, while ensuring responsibility and safety of students while engaging in organized activities. The Photography Club will educate students on principles of art, such as composition, value, color balance, and focus, as well as the scientific aspects of photography like exposure, film photography, development, and printing. As the Elevate Underground space has been approved for digital media, this would be an ideal space to house a studio; however, it would be ideal to have separate locks for this space in order to protect organization equipment from damage and theft.

Membership Benefits
The organization will benefit students by allowing them access to photography equipment, which can be expensive for an individual person, especially those without experience. The organization will provide communal equipment and photography studio space (if granted) for all levels of photographers to use, allowing them the opportunity to partake in photography while living in small apartment/dormitory spaces.The organization will provide a positive, mutually-beneficial creative community on campus for students of all cultures and backgrounds, and of all photography experiences. The Club will also educate students on proper camera use of modern and antique digital and film cameras, providing them a range of experience in the field. The organization will also benefit those not active in the club by facilitating volunteer opportunities for students to take pictures at on-campus events. Finally, the Club will aid in the education, practice, and promotion of the discipline of photography, allowing students to blend arts and sciences in a practical yet fun manner, and allowing cross-disciplinary education and instruction.
