The club has been in the shadows lately but owing to the huge interest shown by the junta it was revived again. The once extremely active club is in good shape again to bring out the creative juices of the IITK junta.

History

This very familiar sound of camera clicking was first heard in campus back in late 80's with the commencement of photography club. All those fascinating and outstanding activities pursued by photography club popularized it in a short period soon after itscommencement. It was this hard work abd dedication which saw photography club as a glorious page in the history of IITK. Even though it couldn't continue the zeal with which it had started for long but the flames which were lit by beginners never ceased and after about a decade, year 2005 saw photography club in new face because of the fuel being added to those flames. These flames unleashed the true identity of photography club and today club is gaining altitude every moment. More and more dimensions are being added to the club like night photography, portrait photography, photography in 'ivory and ebony' and what not.

Days will become brighter and the darkness of this night will excite you all the more. You will surely love this very new-self club.
