Light, Composition, and Moment. That’s what makes a photo. So does Subject Definition, Getting Attention, and Picture Simplification. And so does “f/8 and be there”. A photo can be made, and analyzed, in many different ways.

But all of them have two requirements in common: knowing your equipment and knowing technique. And that is where many photographers, including pros and aspiring pros, need help.

Pro photographer and educator Michael Willems, known worldwide from his teaching blog  www.speedlighter.ca, started cameratraining.ca to help people know their equipment and how best to use it. He and his specialist guest trainers are experienced photographers and educators who love to teach and are very good at it. They also lecture widely.

Michael is a long-time Canon shooter who has worked in 33 countries and who shoots for newspapers, specializes in events, is a member of David Honl’s Round Table, and wrote and teaches many popular workshops including his signature workshops “Travel Photography” , “Advanced Flash Photography” and “Event Photography”.

Michael’s partners and guest teachers include Peter West, a long-term professional photographer and public speaker as well as a social media expert; Joseph Marranca, one of Canada’s most creative and experienced top commercial photographers, and Gregory Talas, who runs the Kodiak Gallery in Toronto and who has been photographing as a pro for decades.

You can benefit from their knowledge. Michael and partners are holding workshops and seminars in the Greater Toronto Area and across North America, aimed at helping you get to grips with your advanced equipment in your specific situations.

These hands-on seminars will help you if you are either a beginner who wants individual hands-on training, an emerging professional, or if you need customized training that is not offered elsewhere.

My personal promise: whatever type of photography you want to learn, you will be amazed at your improvement.
