about CPC

The Chicago Photography Center (CPC) offers a wide range of classes and boot camps for both the digital and film photographer. Our students include true beginners who may not even own a camera when they sit in on their first class, advanced amateurs who are honing their skills to turn their passion into a business, and even pros looking to expand their knowledge and reach.

CPC’s curriculum offers students solid technical knowledge, creating the foundation they’ll need to create the photos they desire. Our instructors and volunteers foster an environment that encourages students to look at the world as photographers, explore their creative vision and capture their unique perspective through the camera’s lens.

Become a CPC Member and enjoy great benefits while supporting photography and the arts.

The Chicago Photography Center is a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization focused on photography. Our facility includes classroom space, a computer lab, darkrooms, a lighting studio and a gallery that exhibits student, instructor and invited artist’s work.
