The exhibition will feature works from those who have been involved in the club during its 50-year history, and will showcase local, national and international photography.
"We have two exhibitions each year, which are always quite popular and this year we're using one of those exhibitions as part of our 50th anniversary celebrations," KSCC committee member Cheryle Dale said.
"All of our members are given the opportunity to enter their works in the exhibition, which means we get a huge range of photographs, from ones taken in the local area to ones people have taken on holidays around Australia and overseas."
While the club is still going strong in its 50th year, with a stable membership base and its exhibitions attracting large crowds, it's always on the lookout for new members.
Mrs Dale encouraged anybody interested in photography to join the club.
"We've got around 50 members at the moment, we've had that many for the last three or four years, but we'd like to get more people involved, especially some younger people," she said.
"You can be any level of photographer, whether you have just a point-and-shoot camera or something more advanced, we even have one member who uses her mobile phone camera," Mrs Dale said.
"I joined about three years ago and it's been great."
The club meets on the first and third Wednesday of each month at the Warilla Bowling Club.
"One meeting each month will be a workshop about how to use your camera or how to use Photoshop, things like that," Mrs Dale saod. "Then the other will be a competition where we get actual judges to critique our photos and award prizes." .
The KSCC exhibition will be held at the Old Fire Station Gallery, Terralong Street, Kiama, from May 14-18.
