*Please note that the Photography Workshops are postponed until further notice.
Hosted by Matt Pregent, this workshop series will look at various topics of photography like composition, lenses, exposure and more. Attendees will gain experience taking photos with their phones and/or digital cameras and learn the main differences between a digital camera and phone camera. Participants will use what they learn by practising in between sessions and will also have the opportunity to ask questions. During the workshops we’ll discuss how we can adapt photography in our everyday lives and abilities.
Matt Pregent was born and raised in Montreal and moved to Vancouver, BC in 1995 with his parents. He’s always had a passion for photography and founded MP Photography to pursue this work while also providing consultation as a travel agent.
There are 7 workshops in this series. Please register in advance to save your spot!: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZArdeygqzouH9fOLRt8Lf_XCySqTkIQFt_J
