Capture the Magic of Winter:

Free Photography Workshop and Community Photo Exhibit

Sponsored by the City of Regina, we offered an open invitation to participate in a virtual photography workshop and community photo exhibit with local professional photographer Danielle Tocker. Danielle covered the basics of smartphone and digital SLR photography and offered information specific to winter outdoor portraits, action shots of winter play, creating an interesting composition, and more. Participants spent some time outside capturing the magic of winter in Regina. The final result is a stunning compilation of community perspectives of the 2020/2021 Regina winter and the magic they managed to capture during this difficult year.

Community Photo Slideshow:

Submissions are now closed for the Capture the Magic of Winter exhibits. We are overjoyed by the participation in this project. Please see some of the submitted photographs in the following slideshow, and the final curated online gallery following the slideshow.

Although submissions are closed for the exhibits, you can still watch this online photography class by local photographer Danielle Tocker that covers the basics of both digital SLR and smartphone photography. Download a PDF highlighting the video’s content here.
​We are grateful to the City of Regina for funding this project. Check out Regina.ca/winterfun for more fun winter activities. We are thrilled for this opportunity to frame Regina as the magical winter wonderland that it is, and to demonstrate the resilience and playfulness of its community. Please email whitney@playyqr.ca if you have any questions.

This initiative started in early 2019 as an attempt to create a comprehensive play resource for people in Regina and has since been greatly informed and strengthened by input from the community. Please use the contact form to let me know if you have any feedback, or join the Instagram community playyqr. The goal is to create and maintain a resource that is clean, minimal, and user-friendly.
