A Year of CPC Photography - 2027


Join us for the YEAR!
Program runs Jan 13 thru Dec 2027.
Taught by a variety of CPC Instructors

Stay immersed in photography throughout the year with monthly themed topics, 12 exciting presentations by various CPC instructors and taking part in the Community group. If that weren't enough, enjoy 4 in-person meetups.

Each month will offer a new topic which will be introduced with an image rich presentation (on Zoom) covering tips, techniques, ideas, and inspiration for capturing the themed topic.

As with the 2025 and 2026 Year programs, the 2027 program offers students the opportunity to learn from many different instructors.

All presentations are on the second Wednesday of each month at 7pm and are recorded for viewing later if you miss a session.

Stay motivated to get out and photograph and enjoy the community of like-minded photographers!

All skill levels are welcome from the novice to the advanced.

This program begins on January 13 with our first month's live presentation on Zoom. If you join after this date, you can watch the recording of the presentation. 

Program Fee: $385
Registration is OPEN

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."
