Here at Learn Photography Canada we want you to have an opportunity to expand your photography skills in a friendly, hands-on environment. Our single day courses were created to teach you the technical skills required to take incredible photographs and also give you the time to put that new knowledge into practice at our beautiful teaching locations. Not only will you learn photography, but you will learn it in amazing locations to give you the best experience possible. We understand this new skill takes time to develop which is why we our team is always here to support you. We are only a phone call or email away to answer any questions you may have along your new photography journey. Join our family today!
You wouldn’t learn to drive a manual car by reading a book and you certainly wouldn’t learn to ride a bike by sitting in a classroom. At Learn Photography Canada, our philosophy has always been “hands-on, interactive learning”. Why? Because our customers are our number one priority!
Our hands-on teaching means that YOU can get comfortable with your camera. You will leave with the confidence to capture pictures in a huge variety of conditions, and you will learn to love the art of photography. We also hold our classes in places where you are inspired to actually take photos (not in a classroom!) and then we show you exactly how to take them so you can repeat these skills wherever your life takes you.
Classrooms are boring – we’re not in high school anymore – and you are doing this for enjoyment as much as education. We’ve put our years of photography experience and lots of hard work into developing a truly unique and interactive style of teaching that’s above all fun for you!

“I was thrilled to receive Learn Photography Canada’s Digital Photography I course as a birthday present. The hands-on course was SO practical! To learn how to use your camera by actively using your camera seems so obvious, but their approach to this really works!
Having the students learn to use the camera by taking photos that we would normally want to take, but using our cameras correctly, made the information relevant and really click! The instructor James kept the information so easy to understand and follow!”

If you’re pondering over the prices of our courses, let us be the first to tell you that we know they are more expensive than the average photography course, but that’s because we’re anything BUT average. We’re the most diverse and successful. We include everything during the course including – admission to course locations, a gourmet lunch, small class sizes, comprehensive course notes, and incredible instructors.
It goes beyond this though, we provide so much more than just hours of instruction during your class. We provide at least one incredible FREE alumni course each month that covers a different topic in a different location. There is no limit to the number of these you take, so your photography journey never has to end! In addition we provide the very best post-course support and are always there to answer your questions.
We pride ourselves in having the highest quality photography courses across Canada. Don’t believe us? Ask any of our amazing Alumni students or check out our student testimonials below! The reason we KNOW that we’re awesome is because our students tell us directly.

“Learn Photography Canada’s approach is truly unique. By learning about technology and techniques as we took pictures I was able to see the results, get feedback from the instructors and immediately become a better photographer.
The experience was all around great; from the locations we went to, to the quality of the instructors (they know pretty much every camera model out there and how to get the most out of it). Great value for my time and the money spent on the course!”

Our locations specifically chosen to inspire you during your photography class. True to the word, they are city icons and a regular stop for tourists and locals alike. Our philosophy is to choose stunning locations in each town to simulate you being a tourist in your own town!
The result is many beautiful photographs out of the city icon that you can take home and be proud of. The funny thing is that to many of our students (and perhaps even you!), this may be the first time visiting an iconic location in your home town of Edmonton!
Unleash your creativity in a supportive and encouraging environment with the support of your fellow classmates and instructors.

“Perfect size, great location, practical information and great delivery! Really enjoyed the course!”

A key part of our teaching philosophy is making sure that our classes are conducted as convenient times. We understand that (strangely enough) you have important things to get back to: family, children, work, hobbies, whatever your vice is. Our classes are almost always on weekends over ONE day.
You might now be asking yourself, “but your classes only run for 6 or 7 hours where others run for 8 or even 12! Aren’t they getting more?”. The answer is simple – no. Imagine you are joining a course over 3 or 4 sessions of 3 hours each. For each session you’re spending time getting settled, doing a revision of last sessions topics catching up on your “progress” over the week and then finally discussing what you’re covering the next week. So you’ve wasted almost an hour of this session just getting “settled”.
Also you’ll be in a classroom, because most interesting venues are not open in the evening. Our courses are designed with very purposeful flow and this can only be achieved during the course of a day.

“I really enjoyed the basics that we were taught in this course. I look forward to learning more in depth things about my camera after I practice these basics further. It was good that the practicing and classroom sessions were all split throughout the day.”

Here at Learn Photography Canada we pride ourselves on having the very best customer service. Our company was named as one of only FIVE finalists in the Customer Service Excellence category (out of over 1000 applicants), and the reason is that we are always available for our students.

We don’t just leave you to figure it all out on your own, and we recognize that this learning process is a journey – one that continues long after our class is complete.

“Great course and instructions (Digital 1). Hands on for me is the best way to learn. One step at a time and practice each new step before moving to the next. I did not feel rushed through any part of the day. Looking forward to Digital 2 course. Thank you!!”

Our alumni are AWESOME! All of our students are invited to join our LPC Aperture Alumni Club. This Facebook group is a place to to share your photos and ask your questions in a very inviting, and non-intimidating environment.
We organize phenomenal FREE Alumni events where we teach you even more incredible skills & techniques – and we don’t charge you for our time. It’s a place where our LPC community can come together and share our creative takes on photography & the world around us. Each month we will meet at a different location for a different event and cover a different photographic topic.
We give you HOURS of additional sessions, support & feedback.

“If you are looking for classes to improve a good photography base or even if you’re starting from scratch then this company is a great place to start. They will help you decide what class/es are best for you. You will quickly become addicted to learning more.”

We’re taking our Digital I Photography Course ONLINE! Why? So that we have even MORE value to give to you – our students. We believe in the ongoing power of education. We know we’re not there, in person with you ALL of the time, so we’re working on ways to help you continue your learning for life.
Our online resource is not just a direct recording of our Digital I course, but is a complete course in and of itself. We include footage from our courses, in-home exercises, and ongoing photography videos that will give you even more tips & tricks to enhance your photography.
Starting in January, all of our students receive 2 months of free access to our Digital I Online course. This is our Digital I course repeated in it’s entirety, with hours of additional information and exercises guided in the LPC teaching style to help you reach your full potential BEFORE you take your next course in person with us.
See our in-person course dates here.
“I really got a lot out of this course and now feel more comfortable using the manual controls of my camera and will get a lot more out of my photography!”
