Ever wonder how long exposure photos are taken – stretched clouds, silky sky, have people disappeared in your image, etc.? Here is your opportunity.

Photography is being creative with your photos and having a creative mind. If you think you have all of that, that is great, because I want you in this workshop. If your photography skills are subpar, I highly recommend taking this workshop. You have a strong interest in improving your composition and working in manual mode (M); I welcome you to this workshop.

This workshop is for anyone who wants to improve their photography. This workshop will help you advance your photography to the level, learn many new skills, and allow your creativity to flow.

What I can't promise for the workshop – clouds and wind!

The group is limited to 5 as I want the learning to be unique, and I can answer your questions.

I have posted a few images from the location, and your creativity is endless. Creativity is great, but SAFETY is #1! A safety talk will occur before we start shooting.

I will provide a day's schedule when you have registered and paid your deposit.

What happens if it rains? Photography does not only happen with it is sunny, no wind, etc. Best photos are taken when the weather is not at its best. If it is raining, the workshop will be rescheduled.

What to wear: You MUST dress for the unexpected change in weather.

What people are saying

My Clients Know Best…

"I attended the Photography and Pints workshop that Yves hosted and it was fantastic! Yves is extremely knowledgeable and so willing to share his knowledge. I learned so much from this workshop and hope to take some others in the future! If you are looking for some great beginner information to help your photography skills reach out to Yves and attend one of his workshops, you won't be disappointed!"

Simone Cameron

"I attended the Long Exposure workshop in Dorothy. This was not just about long exposure but included much emphasis on composition as well as anything else the participant might want to pursue. Yves was well organized and prepared. The day was a great learning experience from beginning to end. I look forward to attending other workshops."

James Gabbert

"I would recommend Yves to everyone! I've done some Beginner's Photography courses, but the instructions were complex and hard to follow. Yves’ instructions are simple and guide you through the shooting process. I really enjoyed the small group workshops at the Upper Kananaskis Lake. I was really appreciative of Yves’ constructive feedback on my photography and helped me refine my skills. Thanks, Yves!"
