Got questions?
We’re here to answer them.

  • What gear do I need to join?

    None! You don’t need any specific Canon gear to join, or even a camera. If you’re curious and creative, you’re in the right spot.

  • Can I join more than one niche?

    Right now, we ask everyone to pick the niche they’re most excited about - Fashion, Travel, or Music. This helps keep things focused, but we’re always evolving!

  • Will there be workshops or in-person events near me?

    We’re launching with two events per niche around Australia and New Zealand and more on the way. Want one in your city? Suggest it in #suggestion-box in the Discord server.

  • I’m not a beginner. Is this still for me?

    Definitely. The Circle is for creators at all levels - whether you’re just getting started or refining your craft.

  • Why did you choose Travel, Fashion, and Music as the first communities?

    We saw lots of interest in those spaces! Interested in something else? Suggest a new niche in #suggestion-box channel within Discord or vote on the community we should launch next here: https://uat.canon.co.nz/get-inspired/the-circle/register-your-interest-other-communities
