His photographic interests cover a wide range, including landscapes, street photography, still life, and events, and he also creates audio-visual sequences from his work.
Christine Chittock, chairperson, said: "John contributes a great deal to the life of the club, organising the 'Image Makers Group' which helps members to informally show their work and gain positive critiques.
"John has willingly given his time and experience for many years, mentoring and helping others to improve their photography."
Exmouth Photo Group welcomes enquiries from interested photographers.
To see some of their work, there will be a display of members' prints in Exmouth Library from May 2 to 31, 2025.
