Education. Learning the basics of lighting, posing, composition and all of the technical skills that allow you to be a successful photographer. Being knowledgeable and practical in how you approach your craft. Using that knowledge to solve problems, be more creative and offer your clients new and changing ideas to improve your image making. This is one of the cornerstones of professionalism.

As we progress in our careers, continuing education is, in my mind, even more critical. It allows us to keep up to date, to keep us inspired, to learn new techniques to learn from other successful photographers and to constantly change and improve our craft.

This is what Canadian Imaging (CICE) is all about. For some it will be about learning the basics. For others it will be about getting inspired and learning something new. Regardless of your starting point there is a wonderful variety of speakers that should satisfy everyone. This issue will give you more details about the speakers, the topics they will address and the learning opportunities you can expect.

We would all like to gather in person for our Annual conference. Given the recent decrease in Covid numbers and the lifting of gathering and masking restrictions, I am hoping this is the last time we have to “gather” virtually. However, for a virtual event, the PheedLoop platform used in November 2021 for the Alberta/ BC LightMatters Conference has proven to be a great platform for this type of Conference. Not only a way to see all of the presentations but also a great way to interact with our sponsors and vendors. There are also ways for us as attendees, to gather, interact and socialize during the Conference, a time to connect with our fellow members and photographers from across the country. Personally, I am looking forward to the learning opportunities and the chance to “see” you all in April

I am looking forward to this issue that previews all of the exciting content coming up during Canadian Imaging. Enjoy this issue of Gallerie Magazine and enjoy Canadian Imaging.
