A first annual exhibition was held on 18-25.11.1906, the second opened on 2.11.1907, and the fourth took place on 12-19.12.1909. A slide show about Italy was given on 23.1.1908 by Albert Bouchery (see that name) and member Louis Hagenaers. The third annual exhibition, featuring work by 13 members, took place in November 1908. "The total number of items submitted is 143, covering every subject: landscapes, portraits, interior views, genre studies, enlargements, slides, etc., etc." (Gazet van Antwerpen, 9.11.1908). Further exhibitions took place on 12-19.12.1911 and over Whitsun of 1912. A report on the latter reads: "A hundred or so impeccable prints decorate the venue. The exhibitors compete in every subject: marines, reproductions, landscapes, contre-jours, genre studies" (Petites Nouvelles Photographiques, 1912, no. 4).
