What to Photograph in your city?

Before you spend your hard-earned money on one of our top classes, you should think about what exactly you want to improve. If you are new to photography and want the basics, then the classes marked 'Beginner level' are just right for you. For those with more experience, we offer classes that focus on specific topics to take your skills to the next level.

If you are still unsure, here's a little tip from us. Take your camera on a walk and see what exactly catches your eye. If you find yourself snapping scenic shots on Kitts Beach, consider our 'Composition for All' class. It won't be long before you're framing your landscape shots perfectly.

Or, if you're drawn to the cool vibe of Railtown and Davie Village, check out our street photography and reportage classes. Our expert tutors will reveal all the tricks and techniques they have learned from their years of professional experience. You will soon be on your way to becoming the next Elliott Erwitt! This is a great class to discover more about your city. Vancouver is packed with secret hideouts and hidden locations waiting to be explored!

Prefer to photograph people? Our portrait classes are perfect if you want to take memorable shots of your friends and family. We even have an online course for the best selfie! Impress everyone with your new photography training. Can't make the classes in person? Don't worry, we also offer live online classes.
