Digital Photography Lessons: Bask in Nature’s Glory – and Amaze Yourself

Digital Photography Lessons the Natural Way

Now you can experience the overwhelming grandeur of Canada's wilderness AND learn how to capture its intensity and emotion with your digital camera.

With an abundance of pristine natural space within less than 2 hours drive from the major centre of Winnipeg, our weekend digital photography lessons and workshops bring you directly into the ecologically significant areas of Canada, as well as many endangered places. And then show you how to capture these breathtaking landscapes, species and spaces while taking your photographic skills to the next level.

Can you imagine the dark beauty of a tamarack bog, sunbeams streaming through to the spongy forest floor, spotlighting a rare and heartstoppingly beautify native orchid?

Or can you feel your heart race as you spot one of only a few rare prairie fringed orchids, poking our from a vast field of prairie flowers; capturing its ephemeral beauty "on film" before it may vanish entirely from the landscape?

Our weekend workshops give you an abundance of creative shooting time to get your shot perfect, guided by our team of professional photographers and instructors. But it's not just about photography, you'll learn about the ecological significance and cultural heritage of some of North America's most threatened environments.

"Thanks Alex. We are having such fun, learning so very much - thanks for the opportunity to participate in this digital photography workshop weekend!"

-Mary-Ann Schreiber, Winnipeg

“I’ve been photographing nature for many years, it’s part of my job. And I spent a lot of time at the Delta Research Station also as part of my job! But Alex really opened my eyes! After the first day’s session I was so much more confident in my ability to capture outstanding images, as well as understanding how to fix them if they weren’t quite what I wanted. I highly recommend this course. – well worth the investment”

- Gene Fortney, Nature Conservancy of Canada, Winnipeg
