I really enjoyed this class. The instructor was very knowledgeable and checked in on each participant to see that they had the basic knowledge to understand the upcoming lesson and challenges. Instructions and shooting challenges were helpful and the feedback was supportive and instructive. Small group size also allowed for enough interaction from instructor. Great class!

Meet Nicolas! He is originally from Paris, France. But he fell in love with Ottawa - it's a beautiful country, with amazing people. He is always impressed with the beautiful landscape.

When it comes to photography, he specializes in portraits. He likes soft light and powerful looks. He's also very inspired by cinema. He likes being closer to a cinematic rendering with special points of view. He catches pictures that tell a story and find emotions.
