Welcome to the Naples Digital Photography Club, co-founded in July 2004 by Sonny Saunders and Bill Coakley. Also known as DPI-SIG, the club offers over 20 distinct membership opportunities, where members can learn about their digital cameras, as well as develop their image enhancement, post-processing, printing and exhibition skills by participating in friendly collaborative groups of fellow photo enthusiasts.
If you are a visitor to Naples looking to capture photographic memories with a camera or just have an interest in digital photography in general, we invite you to attend our FREE monthly digital photography club meeting held at the FSW State College Collier Campus on the second Thursday of each month.
