The Club Fotográfico de México (English: Photographic Club of Mexico) is an amateur photography club established in the 1940s in Mexico. [1] The club occupied a significant position in the history of photography in Mexico.
The club's origins can be traced to World War II. [2] It was founded as a formal entity in 1949, and soon after came to be the central organization for photographers in Mexico. [2] [3] In March 1949 the club had 160 members. Located at 46 Avenue Insurgentes, Mexico City, it had a photography school, darkrooms and optical equipment for members, as a well as a restaurant in its 3000 square-foot space.
