About Our Learning Center
Houston Center for Photography’s Learning Center offers over 200 classes and workshops year-round to the general public for all ages and levels of experience. Its academic calendar is published three times a year and presents classes for both film and digital photographers.
Photographers can choose topics they are interested in or follow a curriculum guide to learn the basics of photography. Workshops and classes are held onsite at Houston Center for Photography (HCP) in the critique room and digital darkroom as well as off-site in the field, at artist studios, or at the facility of one of our partner organizations. HCP members receive a discount on all classes and workshops. HCP members also enjoy the benefit of early registration.
