The Northern Virginia Alliance of Camera Clubs (NVACC) is an informal entity started in 1997 by Joseph Miller with the assistance of Dave Carter and Ed Funk. It purpose is to promote communication and cooperation among area camera clubs. NVACC is made up of Member Clubs and Associated Member Clubs.

NVACC publishes a monthly Calendar of Virginia Member Club Events.

In 1997 NVACC published its first Directory of Speakers and Judges. This Directory is updated periodically. Each individual listed in the Directory has spoken or judged at an area camera club and would be invited back or recommended to another club.

NVACC conducts all day Seminars on Judging at the Joseph Miller Center for the Photographic Arts specifically to identify and train camera club members who want to become judges. Each NVACC-trained judge provides his/her view of the role of a judge, the criteria he/she will use if/when invited to judge, and other data to assist camera clubs make prudent decisions when selecting judges. Information on NVACC-trained judges is to the left of this text.

NVACC has published a Field Trips Guide Book for Photographers, which provides information about nearby areas that camera clubs might wish to visit.

NVACC has published 25 booklets on photographic topics in which members have expertise. These may be printed out for individual use. 

NVACC conducts special workshops, seminars, critiques, and classes for camera clubs at the Joseph Miller Center for the Photographic Arts. Some of these educational events are “Photography as Art” and “How to Look at an Image.” Those are announced as they are available.
