The first time the Vancouver Capture Photography Festival was held was in October of 2013. In a city known for its rich and dedicated photography culture, it was extremely well received. Two years later, it’s back; a soon-to-be annual event, Capture aims to “increase knowledge and appreciation of photography and lens-based art by emphasizing the cultural importance of photography in all its forms,” a mission succinctly described by festival executive director, Kim Spencer-Narin.
