Long Island Film Club
E: LIFilmClub@gmail.com
Long Island Film Club (LIFC) is a welcoming, grassroots photography collective fostering in-person connection and creative exploration across Long Island. Founded by Ryan Yero after a simple Instagram callout that drew an unexpected crowd, LIFC has grown into a thriving community where analog and digital photographers(and their friends) gather to share ideas, make art, and build relationships.
Through casual meetups, guided photo walks, pop-up exhibitions, small publishing projects, and studio sessions, LIFC provides a platform for artists of all levels to engage with photography as both craft and community.
Whether you're shooting film or digital, a seasoned pro or curious beginner, LIFC is an open, inclusive space to explore visual storytelling and connect with others who see the world through a creative lens.
