The Cascade Center of Photography

Posted on May 15, 2012

Pro Photo Supply is partnering with The Cascade Center of Photography to support photographic education in Bend and Central Oregon.

Renowned Swiss born photographer Christian Heeb and his wife and partner, Regula have been residents of Bend since 1998.

After a career of shooting worldwide for international clients and publishing over 120 books and countless calendars and magazine features, Christian & Regula decided to apply their expertise and knowledge to a photography business in Central Oregon.

Christian is joined by such high profile photographers as Chris Mather, Charlie Borland and Diane Kulpinski among others to offer a large variety of workshops, field trips and tours as well as the Bend Photo Walk and hands on classes for teens and kids over the summer.

The Center organizes free evening lectures and slide shows at the Columbia Street Studio and Gallery.
