What People Are Saying About Past
'Year of CPC Photography' Programs

  • "This program is getting me out there with my camera!! And although I miss some of the Zoom sessions, I really appreciate that they're recorded so I can watch them after the fact. They are so helpful, and I've been known to watch them more than once! They're so good!"
    Leslee B.

    "I loved the CPC Year Program! It's a unique format that combines group instruction with individual feedback. It covered a wide range of topics presented by excellent instructors. In short, it's a fun course at a great price!"
    Mark M.

    "If you’d like to raise your game as a photographer a couple of notches, sign up for A Year in CPC Photography! The monthly online courses and critiques and quarterly photo shoots are a great way to expand your horizons. I’m primarily a travel and wildlife photographer but I found it stimulating and skill-building to plunge into such other related genres as macro, portrait, black & white, street photography and so forth. I also greatly improved my post-processing skills. I can’t recommend A Year in Photography highly enough. You won’t be disappointed."
    Gene G.

    "Love the year in Photography course! It keeps me on my toes and gives me the push I need. Very professional and always interesting."
    Laurie H.

    "What I like most about the Year program is that it keeps me using my camera every month. Plus I love the presentations by the different instructors!"
