There are two loca­tions depend­ing on the time of year and weath­er.

April 1 – Octo­ber 31: In front of The Roy­al Con­ser­va­to­ry of Music:

Novem­ber 1 – March 31: The Allen Lam­bert Gal­le­ria inside Brook­field Place, just by the RBC Domin­ion Secu­ri­ties facade:

My com­plete can­cel­la­tion and refund pol­i­cy is found in the Terms of Sale. The fol­low­ing sum­ma­ry is for your con­ve­nience:

  • All sales are final, and no refunds are giv­en if you can­cel.
  • If unex­pect­ed issues occur, you can resched­ule up to 24 hours before your group pho­tog­ra­phy work­shop is sched­uled to start.

This out­door pho­tog­ra­phy work­shop requires weath­er-appro­pri­ate cloth­ing to stay com­fort­able and pro­tect your gear, espe­cial­ly on wet days.

My pho­tog­ra­phy cours­es are held out­doors and involve walk­ing. Some loca­tions may not be ful­ly acces­si­ble. In case of bad weath­er, I’ll noti­fy you of any changes to the meet­ing loca­tion.

I high­ly rec­om­mend attend­ing cours­es 101 to 105 in their numer­i­cal order. Tak­ing the lessons out of order is dis­cour­aged because each builds upon the con­cepts pre­sent­ed in pre­vi­ous lessons.
