Nevada Camera Club was founded in the fall of 1979 for the express purpose of providing Las Vegas area photographers with an opportunity to improve their photographic skills and knowledge and share what they have learned with others who have the same interest. Nevada Camera Club is a nonprofit membership organization providing photography lectures, workshops, demonstrations, field trips, competitions and exhibitions for digital and film camera users. The organization is structured to meet the needs of all members, regardless of their current photographic skill and experience, through a cooperative atmosphere of inspiration, motivation and continuous learning.

The organization includes the following services and activities:

Two general meetings are held each month (except December). The first meeting includes a program on photography. The second meeting is a print or electronic image competition with judges' evaluations of entries.

Nevada Camera Club is a member of the Photographic Society of America (PSA). The club is frequently involved in community cultural and civic functions and has been instrumental in presenting many exhibitions within the Las Vegas-Clark County Library District art galleries. NCC also sponsors exhibitions which are open to members and the general public throughout Las Vegas and Clark County. The club's future plans include a Photography Center for the Las Vegas area.
