ABOUT US
The Boulder Photo Center is the Boulder-Denver area's only School of Photography. We still have the best, if not the only, Black and White Rental Darkroom in Colorado.
We also have a digital studio, a rental shooting studio, and a Photo Gallery on Boulder's Pearl Street since 1982.
2210 Pearl is our third location on Pearl, and the coolest.
There is unlimited FREE PARKING at the studio, as well as a sixty foot garden and outdoor shooting studio that is big enough to shoot an elephant, should that need arise.
Our Photography Classes have taught more than 10,000 students
the joy of good photography. We offer several different photography classes, throughout the year, at the Photo Center on Pearl Street, and have for more than 20 years through the City of Boulder Parks & Recreation Department, and 20+ years at the University of Colorado,
and occasionally through Naropa University in Boulder.
Don Oberbeck, owner of the Boulder Photo Center, has been a
professional photographer and teacher for more than 40 years. He is a
photojournalism and fine arts photography instructor who specializes in teaching camera use,
composition, portraiture, digital image capture and manipulation, and darkroom printmaking techniques.
Also, for almost 20 years, he has been teaching
Adobe Photoshop and Digital Photography classes.
( Ask to see
the early 90's Kodak DCS-100 Digital Camera that's much bigger than a backpack and weighs 50 pounds.)
The world of photography has changed quite a bit in the last few years and our courses are constantly being updated to reflect all the new options that are available today. Our library also has all the current issues of most important photo magazines like Popular Photography, American Photo, National Geographic and the professional photographer's most valuable magazine PDN, as well as hundreds of classic photography books whose ideas you can use to create your own photography book. It's easy.
