John was professional and helpful. The event was pretty wet but that's Vancouver. Needing to go inside was way to busy due to it being a Sat and a cruise ship in as well. On rainy days a different venue would have been ideal. Other than that is was fun, got out and met people I would never have met was a bonus. I'm looking forward to the begginers class in a few weeks.

This was a great introduction to studio photography and portraits, for me, having no previous experience with this genre. There was a good mix of participants and each had time to gain comfort developing their model/photographer relationship and practise capturing "the shot". Overall a great experience and opportunity to meet new people with a passion for photography.

The host was extremely engaging, informative and helpful, made everyone feel welcome and comfortable. The best part of the class was the "hands'on" experience of being able to work with and take some portrait shots of a model. Thank you so much!

Knowledgeable and welcoming host, eager to share his experience and expertise. Made everyone feel welcome regardless of our skill level. Liked how the focus was on the human side of studio photography and not just technical details. I also appreciated how accommodating he was for everyone?s input to be of value. A good teacher - positive, genuine.

Sam has a strong professional grounding in photography. He communicates well, provides learning tasks and is open to feedback. The studio session was well structured with the opportunity to shoot a model as if doing a paid shoot. Highly recommended.

It was fun. Soroush gave lots of tips and we had an opportunity to photograph the model in whatever pose we wanted. She was very enthusiastic and accommodating. I appreciated Saroush?s gentle correction of my camera settings.

Title or Location: Osaka Castle
I plan to visit Japan during the sakura or cherry blossom season with my friends on our Asia trip in March-April 2025. It was in the middle of the day, full of people enjoying the site. I did not want to shoot Osaka Castle alone with people around it. I went a little further where the cherry blossom trees are and took many images with the trees in the foreground.

Title: ?Curious Drifter?Captured with the Sony A7 IV paired with a Sigma 150?600mm telephoto lens, this intimate portrait of a sea otter was taken from the deck of a gently rocking boat off the coast of British Columbia. To counteract the motion and ensure sharpness despite the unpredictable platform, I opted for a fast shutter speed of 1/1600 sec, with the lens rested against the boat?s edge for added stability. Shot at f/7.1 and ISO 500, the image retains a crisp balance of depth and detai

This photo was a part of the first roll of film I ever shot. I had just gotten my first SLR, and as a zookeeper at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, I thought it would be fun to start with some portraits of all my favorite critters. Scarlet the Red Fox was very curious about the camera and ended being the perfect model. Minolta X-700, expired Kodak Ultramax 400
