Photography Collective
Fix Featured EventThis photography club is a relaxed, welcoming space for like-minded people to get together, shoot, share, and talk photography. Each week will have a loose theme to focus on, along with time to share work, exchange ideas, and connect socially. While they’ll touch on gear, technique, composition, and editing along the way, the emphasis is on learning through practice and conversation rather than formal instruction.
Sessions will include photography exercises related to each theme, occasional small contests, and several go-out-and-shoot meetups. Details for contests and meetups will be shared during the sessions, and there is no additional cost to participate. The final session will wrap up with a year-end show, light-hearted awards, and group judging. They plan to take a break over the summer and return in the fall with a fresh session lineup and new themes.
Visit the Fernie Arts Station website for more details.
