Who We Are.

The Vancouver Street Photography Collective (VanSPC) is a non-profit society bringing together photographers from Vancouver and beyond to create and share diverse street photography approaches and aesthetics. We are founded on the principles of exploration, engagement, and inclusion. For us, street photography is a way to interact with the world, the everyday and the spectacular, and capturing those interactions through photography that is grounded in the streets, and at the same time, evocative of our individual artistic visions. We strive to offer a welcoming space to learn about, practice and display street photography through meet-ups, exhibitions, publications and simply walking the streets to discover new moments of inspiration.

How We Started.

Life is captured, for a moment, and held in time. We began as a group of street photographers primarily on Instagram in late 2018 and held our first meetup in 2019. Since then, we’ve held monthly meetups and photowalks, attended gallery exhibits and talks together, and created the Vancouver Street Photography Collective Instagram account (@van_spc) where we feature both local and international street photographers. Our goal is to support the Vancouver street photography community through social media outlets (IG account, facebook page, website) and events such as monthly meetups and photowalks, workshops and exhibitions.
