Learn to shoot like a Pro!

Northern Exposures Photography is now teaching classes!

No matter if your just starting out or a seasoned photographer, we have one-on-one training courses to help you advance in various areas of photography.

Each course is designed to narrow in on different aspects and techniques used by the professionals.  We will help give you a boost in the right direction through hands on training with your own equipment and help you achieve your photography goals.

Every student will receive a private lesson with Richard Boose (Professional Photographer) in an outdoor setting.   Each class will vary in length depending on the skill level required.  Courses generally run 1-2 hours of field training or until the instructor feels confident that the student has achieved their personal learning goal from the elected course they are taking.

Advance your knowledge with us!

Below is a list of our currently available courses by skill level, category & cost.  Booking a course is no different then booking a photo session, you request a date that best suits you and we will check our availability before confirming with you.  All fees are due at time of booking. Northern Exposures Photography Gift cards can be used towards our photography courses.

Please note:   All classes must be paid in full before your booking date.
