FEATURED EVENTS
Please join us at Telegraph Beer Garden for a low-key gathering. This is a chance to mingle and meet some fellow photographers, and talk about photography, or whatever else strikes our fancy!
EBPCO Fest is an ode to the spirit of creativity and community fostered by the East Bay Photo Collective! It is your chance to contribute to a cause that brings together the power of art, culture, and community. Proceeds from EBPCO Fest will directly support the East Bay Photo Collective’s efforts to provide photographic resources, education, and opportunities for the community.
It’s Photo Walk Time!
We will be meeting on the first Sunday of the month. Bring any camera you like, and be prepared to wander and shoot for up to an hour.
EBPCO’s bimonthly photo walks are a great way to connect with other photographers while exploring and photographing an interesting Oakland location.
Our photo walks are free and OPEN TO ALL! Bring your camera(s) and your creativity. All cameras welcome, including phones.
WITH PHILIP KRAYNA AT OAKLAND PHOTO WORKSHOP
Do you have a film camera collecting dust in an attic, inherited from a relative, or recently purchased at a yard sale or on eBay? Bring your cameras and questions to this informal workshop where we will share with others and with EPBCO member and film camera obsessive Philip Krayna (aka “Dr. Philm). Philip will test and assess your camera, if possible help with minor repairs, and explain how to use it, so you can start enjoying the magic of film photography.
Class Full! JOIN WAITLIST | This workshop is FREE and open to all, though advanced sign up is required.

This 4 week course is for those who are comfortable shooting 35mm film but have no previous experience in a black & white darkroom. Throughout the course, an instructor will guide you through the basics of darkroom processes, including processing black & white film, contact printing, and enlargement printing. Participants must bring an exposed but unprocessed roll of film to work with for the first class. All other materials for this course are provided by EBPCO!

This session is open to EBPCO members only. If you don’t have a membership, you can start one HERE. Join us at Oakland Photo Workshop to discuss your photo projects and works in progress. The goals of these in-person sessions are to create a supportive space to give and receive constructive feedback on projects in all areas of photography currently being developed.

WORKSHOPS
IN THE GALLERY
If These Eyes Could Talk is a love letter to the moments our words fail us. It is an ode to what we’ve grown up on, what gets us attuned to our communities, our desire for peace from the noisy metropolis, and quiet observations. The artists here are a reflection of these things. It is my belief that as lens-based artists we say more visually than any sentence we put together. If These Eyes Could Talk the point would be simultaneously complex and simple. I hope that as you take yourself through the ‘words’ of these artists, you find elements of comfort, familiarity and wonder the way that I do.
Featuring the work of Bradley Fowl, Justin Wilson, Keelan Sungalo-Valdez, and Sean Keelan
