Photography classes Vancouver

I teach basic photography at the
False Creek Community Centre
on Granville Island. New classes
almost every month. In the first
week of July I have a three evening
travel photography class. In the fall
I'll also have classes at the West Point
Grey community centre.

I also give people one to one lessons.

If we had more time than the nine
hours of my course, I'd get students
to learn composition by shooting
black and white. I think it helps to
see line, texture, shape, form, pattern
and the other elements of composition.
Colour is great but it's so powerful, it
overwhelms a photo and a good photo
needs those other elements.
Learning to see is what photography is
all about. It takes a lot of practice
after the short course is over.
