New Intermediate Photography course!

I’m pleased to announce I will be offering a new intermediate photography course this winter. This offering was so anticipated that the first course filled up immediately. A second intermediate photography course is being held this spring. This is a hands on practical photography class for those who want to move past the basics of photography. We welcome students from across the Lower Mainland and Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, including Abbotsford and Chilliwack. We are most closely located to those who live in Langley, Surrey and Delta. Check it out above!
