Who we are.


We are a group of photographers located in Ottawa, Canada, who are dedicated to advancing the art and craft of photography with respect to creativity and lasting value of this popular, expressive medium.

     We are committed to this goal through continuing education, mentoring, propagating innovative ideas and bringing new photographic works to the public through exhibitions, presentations, seminars and workshops. The group comprises nine photographers with a variety of backgrounds and interests.

SUMMER EXHIBITION

 

Johnny Farina Gallery

Dante photographers displayed some works-in-progress. The exhibition was a great success; a gallery of images from the exhibition and vernissage will be coming soon!


 

Besides getting together, drinking beer and making fun of each other every second Wednesday, we actually try to be productive in advancing the medium of photography.


We accomplish this by:


> Developing personal bodies of

    photographic work

> Exhibiting this work around

    Ottawa and area.

> Studying the work of other

    photographers

> Organizing photography

    related events including

    Seminars and Workshops.

> Mentoring other photographers.

What we do.

The group meets occasionally at the Armada Lounge, inside the Brig Pub in the Byward Market, Ottawa, Canada. Inquiries about the group should be directed via email to questions@DanteWasHere.com.
