I am very excited to announce my new series of workshops on the Fundamentals of People Photography starting this summer at John Abbott College, on the West Island of Montreal. If you’d like to master the techniques involved in photographing people for fun or for profit, then I’d love to help you enhance your skills!
This comprehensive series will include a dynamic mix of in-class instruction as well as the opportunity to take your cameras – and your newfound knowledge – out for a spin, as we explore the beautiful John Abbott campus photographing our models. Classes will be limited to no more than 12 participants so that everyone will have the occasion to ask questions and really get involved in a truly interactive learning experience.
Full-day Workshops are $200, half-day Mini-Workshops are $100 or sign up for the entire series of five workshops for only $500 – a $300 savings! LCC Members and any clients of Creative Perspectives Photography are eligible for a 10% discount.
Keep reading for the list of workshops, dates, times and topics that will be covered. I look forward to seeing you this summer!
