Close-Up content is entirely the work of Victoria Camera Club members!

The Close-up team consists of four volunteers, editor, assistant editor, image editor and print distribution.

The editor is responsible for production, soliciting advertising, and overall content. The assistant editor solicits material and is also the proofreader. The image editor prepares black-and-white versions of images as appropriate and the print distributor delivers the printed copies to our advertisers, and currently also solicits material for the “How I did it” column.

We invite all members of the club to provide material so if you have an idea for an article please contact the Newsletter Editor to discuss what is needed (content and layout).

If you’re interested in the production side there is an opportunity to split production between two people or to assist with proofreading and image-editing. If you are interested in this please contact the Newsletter Editor.
