DLS workshop FAQs

How much do the workshops cost?

Workshops cost an average of $75 per 4-hour day.  The full series is $500, and there are savings for early registration.

How long are the workshops?

The workshops are from 2 - 4 hours in length.

Do I need a dSLR?

No.  You only need a camera with manually adjustable ISO, aperture, and shutter speed for teh technical workshops, and the creative workshops are suitable for any camera.  If you aren't sure if the model you're using has manual controls, leave a comment with your camera make and model and a reply email (I won't publish it) and I can let you know. 

Can I bring my kids?

Nursing infants up to about 6 months are welcome; however, the workshops are fairly involved and not suitable for children.

Where are the workshops held?

The workshops will be held at a variety of locations in and near Edmonton which are yet to be confirmed.  Confirmation will be sent out prior to the commencement of the workshops.

What will I know when I'm done with the workshops?

Technically you will know how to use the buttons, knobs, and dials on your camera to get the exposure you want; creatively you will have a whole bag of tricks on everything from lighting and composition to how to make grumpy kids smile, and then some.  You will also have an idea of how to get started as a business if you decide to pursue photography as a career.

Are the workshops tax-deductible?

No.  As these workshops are being offered privately and not through a registered educational program, I cannot issue tax receipts.
