GTA Photography was founded in 2007 when a couple friends asked us, “Do you teach classes?”.
“Of course! ” we quickly replied.
An intro class to photography was immediately developed over the next month and tailored in a private lesson with just 2 students. They found a new love for photography and we found a new passion for teaching!
Over the next two years, the same course was tweaked, revised and tweaked once more and it has now become the famous PHOTO 101!
If you haven’t heard of us yet, here is a brief summary of what we are about:
HANDS ON CLASSES
We understand the importance of practical and hands on workshops in our students learning. We can sit in a classroom until the cows come home, but we will never fully understand photography until we get out and take the camera out for a spin! This is what we specialize in. Making our classes as interactive as possible.
LIMITED CLASS SIZES
We also know that sitting in classes with 50 other people (all with different camera models) can be somewhat overwhelming. This is why our classes are limited to as many students that we can count on our hands.
BOUTIQUE STUDIO – LOCATED DOWNTOWN TORONTO (King & Yonge)
We are centrally located in our main Toronto studio at King and Yonge. We set up our studio in a living room style, we let you kick back in a couch and we take care of the rest.
AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
Remember when you were in school and all you ever wanted to do was run straight to your after school activities like arts & crafts, soccer practice, or band camp? We put a lot of focus on building a community with our students and keeping them involved in the field, even after classes are done. Photography Contests, Semi-Annual Exhibits, Online Forum, Social Gatherings are just some of the many initiatives we have introduced to keep you shooting!!! Take the class and participation in these is FREE! Talk about value!
KNOWLEDGEABLE INSTRUCTORS
We bring you instructors that are not only good at photography but are good at teaching! We learned early on that the two do not necessarily go hand in hand. Our instructors all believe in a practical and hands on approach when teaching photography, all while making the classes fun and interactive. Questions are welcomed and encouraged!
