Welcome to the Charlottesville Photography Initiative!

The CPI’s mission is to foster an open, friendly and professional environment in Charlottesville and the surrounding areas, providing an educational forum and building a community for amateur and professional photographers.

  • Provides a forum to bring local photographers together
  • Creates a sense of fellowship among photographers
  • Gives back to the community through non-profit photography
  • Delivers advanced photographic education
  • Increases collaboration and resource-sharing between members
  • Promotes professional growth
  • Provides artistic enrichment
  • Advocates for local photographers

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you join us!
