The Creative Photography Centre was established in 2002
as a place where locals and visitors alike can enjoy the wonderful art of photography.

Set in the beautiful environment of Byron Bay, and part of its extraordinary community, CPC specialises in courses and workshops in black and white photography for everyone from rank beginners to experienced practitioners.

Our central philosophy is that students learn the fine art of blending creativity with technique, so that they can expand and realise their unique vision. We want people to previsualise an image, and have the skill to then create it.

We have a spacious, well equipped community darkroom in which as many as ten people at a time can use our excellent printing facilities. Our processing area is just as
well-appointed. We also have extensive studio space and equipment for classes and to hire.

CPC's resident mentors are both professional photographers with an abiding fascination and love of the art. They wish to share this with their students and visitors, who they hope to inspire to greater photographic achievements and, above all, enjoyment.
