Photo Program
INFORMATION PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS
Please be informed that it’s MANDATORY to register for our Photo Workshops. Send us an email or call us to register.
During our workshops, we will teach you a number of aspects relating to photography including the following: use of manual settings, dealing with shifting light in an uncontrolled environment, working fast with unpredictable subjects, using simple field techniques in natural and urban settings.
We’ll encourage shooting “outside the box”, being creative and thinking differently.
Handouts will be provided for most of the workshops.
A follow-up critique through email by Nina will be provided after each workshop.
In summary, we will help you to become a better photographic artist.
Equipment you will need for these workshops:
- Any digital camera/DSLR camera with a telephoto and a wide-angle lens, or zoom lens equivalent. Also, photo enthusiasts with smaller cameras, mirror-less, non-DSLRs, point & shoot/Bridge Cameras will also benefit from our workshops.
- Tripod or some sort of camera support, especially for night/indoor photography.
- Cable release or remote control, especially for night/indoor photography.
- A pop-up or external flash will come in handy

Upon request: Zoom photo editing sessions
Time: We agree to a date & time that suits us both – $85.00 per person HST incl.
Contact Nina at [email protected] to set up a date & time for a two hour long Zoom photo editing session. Nina will have prepared a session uniquely tailored to your needs and will demonstrate in a one-on-one setting how to professionally make an edit to an image – this can be wildlife, pets, people, landscapes etc. The session will be recorded and the student will have access to the recording for two weeks to maximize the training. The student will need Adobe CC with Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop. We also recommend getting the NIK Collection Plug-in for more creative editing. For any questions, please contact us.
Nov 26 – Christmas Indoor Creative Photo Workshop
Time: Pick the time slot that suites you the best – Venue: 1171 Ambleside Drive, K2B 8E1 – $125.00 HST included
First Session: 8 am to 11 am: SOLD OUT!
Second Session: 11:30 pm to 2:30 pm
Third Session: 3 pm to 6pm
During this photo workshop we will do “flat-laid” photograph, which means an image shot directly from above – a bird’s eye view of an array of carefully arranged objects. You are also welcome to shoot from the side (see example below). We will do this in a studio setting using studio lamps and a variety of backdrops.
Think about what you want to photograph and it’s a good idea to do a Google search for “flat-lay” photography to get a few ideas. A few examples of what to create can also be seen below.
We will have the facilities to do the workshop, the lamps needed and also a variety of backdrops in various colours and textures. You need to bring the objects you want to photograph.
Contact Nina at Ton[email protected] for any questions or registration.
