Central Alberta Photographic Society (CAPS) is based in Red Deer, AB. CAPS is a club where photographers of all levels get together in a social atmosphere for the sharing of techniques, knowledge and experiences.

We have a history of involvement with the City of Red Deer and continue to provide a valuable service to our community. We promote photography in our community through education, events, exhibitions and community service.
