On Saturday, April 19, 2025, I had the opportunity to partner with @sonyalpha Canada and @thecamerastore to host a photography event inside the brand new BMO Centre at Stampede Park. @calgarystampede With over 240 attendees registered, the space was filled with creative energy as photographers had the chance to connect, try out new Sony camera gear, and capture images in one of Calgary’s most striking architectural spaces. Events like this remind me of why I fell in love with photography in the first place—because of the people. The community. The shared excitement of learning something new, testing new tools, and seeing the world a little differently. Huge thanks to Sony Alpha Canada and The Camera Store for supporting this vision and helping bring it to life. Thanks to the @calgarystampede BMO Centre for giving us the space. To @davey_gravy @naomijaneatherton @victoraerden @dusty.cressey for promoting the event and talking to attendees. And to everyone who showed up, thank you for making it what it was. #sonyalpha #sonyalphacanada #sonycanada #shotonsony #sonyphotographer #canadianphotographer #creativemeetup #photographymeetup #BMOCentre #createcommunity #eventvideo #calgaryalberta #travelalberta #capturecalgary
