What we’re about
Do you have an interest, or even a passion for photography? Would you enjoy photographing in a vibrant, urban environment, along with other friendly and engaging people who share your interest? Are you a beginner, intermediate, or expert/pro photographer? Then you belong with us! Our mission is to photographically explore Baltimore and its environs. Our vision for our Members is to learn from someone who know more than you and teach someone who know less than you.
Our goal is to have at least one free photo event a month, concentrating on photo walks. We will also offer some photo workshops for fees that will be good values.
There are so many extraordinary places to photograph in and around Baltimore... can't wait to shoot them with you!

https://capitalphotographycenter.com/classes/class/2025-may-16-18-street-photography-workshop-philadelphiaJoin Michael Koren for a Street Photography Workshop in Philadelphia, “The Birthplace of America.” Explore and photograph the vibrant streets where Benjamin Franklin and Betsy Ross walked.
We will concentrate on street photography in the heart of the city seeing many famous sites along the way. Frame serendipitous moments among the hustle and bustle of this historic area.
We’ll capture scenes in the historic cradle of America including Independence Hall, the Betsy Ross House and Elfreth’s Alley and more. Additionally, we’ll stroll through the working-class neighborhoods through Little Italy where any number of scenes will present themselves.
Skill level: Participants should be familiar with their cameras and have some basic knowledge of the exposure controls; ISO, Aperture and Shutter speeds.
Equipment recommendations: DSLR or Mirrorless with interchangeable lenses from 16 to 200mm (wider and longer is fine if you have that). Tripods, filters, and flash are not recommended.
