The BC/Yukon Inter-Club Speaker Series began in 2020, a collaborative effort of photography clubs throughout British Columbia and Yukon Territory. It fosters collegiality and connection between hundreds of photographers, and provides rich learning experiences via presentations from accomplished and recognized photographers.
The 2022-2023 BC-Yukon Inter-Club Speaker Series gratefully acknowledges the support of 34 participating camera clubs with over 1,500 members, as well as the contribution of Canadian Association for Photographic Art, Pacific Zone, and the support of Beau Photo.
This Inter-Club Speaker Series takes place on Zoom and is open to all members of participating clubs, free of charge. INDIVIDUAL members of participating clubs must register for each of the speaker events they wish to attend, by clicking the appropriate links below.

Dianne Bos has been exhibiting her photo based work for over 40 years. She has evolved various thematic bodies of work, and merged technical innovations to create new visual hybrids: her innovative uses of pinhole, film, camera obscura, photogram, installation, and cyanotype all explore the world around us. Dianne says, “The excitement, for me, lies not in photographing and reproducing something I can see, but in revealing the imperceptible (and maybe only the imagined) using the physics of light and time and traditional darkroom techniques.”

Conversely, Craig Blacklock, has devoted his life’s work to depicting the interface of land and water in wilderness areas, specifically, Lake Superior, where he is constantly exploring new ways to express our relationship with the natural world. For his latest project, Light Waves, Blacklock travelled by kayak gathering images that unlock a portal into an astonishing universe where light dances with water, creating the illusion of three-dimensional objects and spaces.
