Highlight
Seize the Light - 2025
Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre Fundraiser
Annually, we take to the streets for a cause. Seize the Light is an event where photographers capture photos every hour and post one of those photo every hour to Instagram—all in support of the Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre. It’s a creative marathon that pushes our limits, builds community, and raises vital funds for an essential organization. Explore highlights from challenge and learn how you can get involved.
What’s On

Each month, we shine a spotlight on one of our collective’s unique voices.

Don’t miss their handpicked selection of three standout images. This month’s featured member is ready to shift your perspective.
June 2025 Photowalk
Every month, our collective hits the streets for a themed photowalk—an open invitation to slow down, observe, and shoot with intention. After each walk, we showcase a curated selection of remarkable images captured by participants. See how different eyes interpret the same path, and get inspired by the diverse perspectives shared on our latest Photowalk page.
Annual VanSPC Zines
Twice a year, we bring our collective vision to print. Our annual zines are a curated collection of photographs from across the collective—each image a reflection of the streets we walk and the stories we uncover. Thoughtfully designed and beautifully printed, the zines captures the spirit and diversity of our community. Explore the latest editions and see the city through our eyes.
Upcoming Events/Activities
Pavement Poetry
Exhibition
Our fall group show, Pavement Poetry, invites you to reflect on the poetic, expressive side of street photography. We’re looking for work that captures the small magic of public space — moments that are layered, surprising, mysterious, or that reveal something deeper than what’s on the surface.
