Photography Classes

We are pleased to offer photography classes in the greater Victoria area at the Panorama Recreation Centre in North Saanich. Instruction will be given by Leah Gray and, Steve Smith , 

• Discover Light in Photography. 3 classes: Nov. 2, 9, 16, 1-5pm. Classes will be at Greenglade Community Centre (2151 Lannon Way, Sidney, B.C.) weekly on Sundays.
  Photography is the art of “writing with light”. By mastering the nuances of light, one can significantly enhance the quality of one’s photographs. Our instruction will commence with an exploration of natural light and subsequently address artificially created light through the use of continuous light, speed-lights, and studio equipment. We will examine the properties of light, types of light, polarized light, the inverse law and measuring light. This knowledge will help students recognize and utilize light effectively in various photographic genres from macro and portraits to wildlife and landscape photography. Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of lighting principles and develop strategies for improving their photographic skills. This course is intended for intermediate and advanced photographers, but beginner photographers are welcome to attend and will certainly benefit from the experience. Registration is through Panorama Recreation.
  
• Introduction to Photography. 3 classes in January, 2026. Dates to be announced as soon as they are confirmed. Registration will be through Panorama Recreation starting Dec. 4th.
