Laval Camera Club – 2025 October Update

Laval Camera Club

As part of its activities to mark its 15th anniversary, the Laval Camera Club had the honor of welcoming an old friend of the Club, Guy Boily, on September 18th. Guy is a passionate photographer well-known in Quebec who has collaborated extensively with the Club in the past, including serving for several years as a speaker, advisor, and judge-in-residence at the Laval Camera Club.

Between anecdotes and reflections on creativity, Guy shared his love of images and inspired LCC members to develop their own artistic skills.

The Laval Camera Club took advantage of this evening to award him the title of Honorary Member.

The president of the Laval Camera Club, Geneviève St-Hilaire, awards the title of Honorary Member to Guy Boily

Oct. 2025 Competition Updates

Modification of Our New Authentication Standards Initiative

Following our September 2025 Competition announcement regarding new authentication standards for January 1, 2025, we received valuable feedback indicating this timeline was too aggressive, particularly given that C2PA Content Credentials are not yet universally supported across all post-processing applications.

In response, we’ve revised our approach, our new Content Credential initiative is now optional and educational rather than mandatory. Between now and the end of 2027, we will promote the Content Credential model while photographers and camera clubs explore and adopt these standards at their own pace. The revised implementation can be viewed here (English) (French)

We have created a new AI Info section in the Competitions dropdown menu featuring: 

  • AI-Gen Systems Not Permitted
  • List of approved AI tools (and prohibited ones)
  • Updated editing criteria for all 2026 competitions
  • Detailed guidelines for seven major editing platforms (Photoshop, Lightroom, Luminar Neo, ON1, Topaz Labs, etc.)

Updated AI presentation includes discussion on:

  • AI technology is transforming and challenging photography
  • Photographic Associations & Societies face new challenges
  • CAPA is implementing clear, fair standards

Clubs interested in hosting this AI presentation, please email the Director of Competitions at competitions@capacanada.ca.
