The Print Swap: Coffee, Conversation & The Art of Photography - Second Edition
We’re hosting our second Print Swap at Mas Studios in collaboration with Canon Creator Lab - a curated community event where photographers and creators share and swap printed work over a morning coffee, meet new people, and get to share the moments and stories behind the image.
Here’s how it works:
You submit one photo in advance.
We print 3 copies of your image (8.5x11) so they’re ready when you arrive
You keep 1 copy of your own print, and swap 2 copies with fellow attendees (although you’re free to swap all 3 if you like)
Printing for all attendees is provided by Canon Creator Lab and Canon Canada.
Visual themes for this session include: Travel, Landscape, Fine Art, & Street Photography.

FAQ
Do I need a camera / bring gear?
No, this isn’t a shooting event. Just bring yourself (and maybe a friend - they’ll need a ticket as well).
Can I submit photos captured on a phone?
Yes, as long as the file meets the print requirements (we’ll share an easy guide during submission).
Can I submit more than one image?
No, just one image per attendee to keep it fair and simple.
What if I can’t make it after submitting?
Please cancel early so we can offer your seat to the waitlist.
