Workshops

    Enhance your own photography. The best spent money in photography isn’t on a new camera, lens, flash or software. It’s spent learning how to use it all better.

    I teach a number of courses and workshops.
    Through Georgian College, I teach the following courses:

    I also run workshops on my own:

    • Learning to See: Basics of Photography – Date TBD. Let me know if you are interested!
      A nine-hour crash course in photography, spread out over three classes, once a week. I cover everything from manual control of your camera, composition, the science of how your camera works (and why you should care) and many, many tangents.
    • Private Workshops
      Need some one-on-one learning? We’ll head out into the field and focus on your interests. It doesn’t matter what you’re into: wildlife, landscape, waterfalls, macro, architecture, street photography, you name it. You’ll have my undivided attention for a minimum of three hours, up to as long as you’d like.

      I also offer one-on-one or group lessons for Photoshop, Lightroom, and basic image editing.

    • Speaking Engagements
      If you have a camera or photography club and are looking for an educational speaker, I am available to talk on any number of topics, including:

      • Vision Beyond Seeing: How Photography opens your eyes to the world
      • Advanced Photographic Techniques
      • Blooming Photography: Better images from the garden
