Photography Workshop given by Janice Street Native to Ottawa and studied commercial art at Algonquin Collage. Photography started as a hobby then crossed over into my graphic design.  Over the past 12 years photography has been my main focus and income. I have produced books, greeting cards, DVD's, and showed my work at many local artist tours and galleries. And in the past 10 years I have taught over four thousand beginner and intermediate photographers. Photographing for more than 35 years I am a photographer with an arts background or some would say " An artist with a camera"  and I enjoy helping you access your passion by first teaching the workings of the camera and then giving you artistic fundamentals like composing, lighting and seeing the potential through the view finder.

my eyes to a better understanding of composition, lighting, depth of field etc

but found your format a much better learning experience. I would take the course again.

First off I want to thank you for the course this past weekend, 
I’m pleasantly surprised at how much I learned and how well you were able to explain both the 
concepts and execution. I’m very much enjoying taking the camera out with me and look forward 
to chances to improve my skills and familiarity.

It was a small group of keen learners, all about the same level,
        all sharing an interest in photography. The instructor is a
        talented photographer who shares her love of photography in a
        atmosphere conducive to learning.

Very professional and amazing teacher. Loved doing the assignments
and viewing and reviewing afterwards
Karen T.

Fun day...Janice is very knowledgeable and very patient!! :) Enjoyed it so much
that I registered for the other classes!
Jo-Anne T.

I've attended two of Janice's workshops and have found them to be very helpful.  The small groups facilitate
discussions and encourage questions.  Participants are able to make comments as well obtain advice or
feedback on issues they are experiencing.  Janice is very helpful in locating particular functions on our cameras
if we can't find them and provides feedback on the pictures we have taken.  I've found these elements to be
superior to other workshops I have taken.  Overall, it is a very hands-on and personal coaching experience. 
I would recommend it to all.

Very professional and amazing teacher. Loved doing the assignments and viewing and reviewing afterwards

 I enjoyed your course and when I left at the end of the day, I felt more confident in using my camera. 
I appreciated how you went around the room to make sure each person was on the same page and to 
answer any questions. I would definitely take another one of your courses.   Thank you!    Amy

Thank you Janice for such an eye opening class. 
My family and I went to biodome in Montreal today and 
I captured some great photos thanks to your lesson. Tijana

Thanks for the workshop today. You have lots of knowledge to share which you do freely. The pace of your 
class is good. You allocate time for review and questions etc.  It was relaxed and lots of fun and 
I came away with some nice new techniques to explore. I must say, I truly enjoy your teaching style.
Keep coming up with courses  and I'll keep taking them.
Randy

Thank you so so much, Janice… For the notes and for the amazing lesson.   
As I was just telling Susan, I woke up this morning wanting to get back
   out in that park again with my camera and that is the sign of a good lesson (and teacher)….Susan  

I very much enjoyed the workshop and find that I learn so much from your way of teaching.    
I'm looking forward to another workshop and in the meantime, 
I'm having fun practicing!  Thanks again.      Linda  

Great 2 part workshops If you want to learn about your camera, get off automatic mode, and learn how to take
better pictures, this is a fun, hands on workshop with lots of practical info.
Bruce

"This workshop was excellent. Janice is extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic about photography.
I learned a lot and will go back for level 2."

Marie

"Informative, helpful and interesting. I learned a LOT about my Nikon D3200 despite everyone having different cameras.
All the basics and more were covered and we even got to put our new skills to the test with an outdoor exercise in
the second half of the class. Thanks! I am really pleased :)"

Amanda

"Excellent workshop. Janice is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, motivating and sincerely cares
that you leave the workshop with new skills and that your questions have been answered. Highly recommend."

Moira

This was a great workshop, informative using terms and examples that were easy to follow and
understand at a good pace! I would highly recommend Janice's workshop to anyone! Thanks so much
and I look forward to taking more of your workshops!

Tammy

Excellent course and teacher. I took a 3 hours course at Henry's and I 
think I got more from Janice program with in the first hour.

Richard

Just wanted to say that I LOVED the workshop yesterday. It was incredibly helpful, technically rich and still
very easy to understand, even as a complete beginner.

Kari-Anne

My daughter and I both attended. We both left eager to experiment with our new found knowledge.
Of course your digital SLR camera comes with a manual, but who reads them - hands on is much better and this
workshop is well worth the time! We are both eager to return for more instruction. Thank you

Kelly and Charlene

Andrée and I enjoyed your workshop very much. Your relaxed approach to the workshop made it fun
while informative. The location was great. Francois

Thank you very much for the great course on Saturday. It was great!!! And unlike other courses I have taken,
I was actually able to later replicate what I had learned in your class. Wonderful teaching style.

Adina

Hi Janice, just wanted to drop you a note to say how much I enjoyed your workshop yesterday. 
I'm finally off auto and was very excited to try some AV and TV shots.  My husband and youngest son
were playing chess last evening and I took some interesting chess piece shots.  There truly is beauty in everything!
You are a great teacher and your passion comes through.  You have an amazing eye and I just can’t say
enough about your photography. Thanks again and when you are going to do the evening get together,
I would really like to attend.

Thanks so much for the class! I really feel like I learned a lot, but more importantly gained some confidence
in using my camera. I’ve already been out practicing, and am excited to get out
to new places and see what I can get!

Marcie

Really helpful in learning more about how to use your camera and compose great pictures.
Janice is a patient and intuitive instructor. Highly recommend this course.

I definitely recommend this workshop if you want to design better images.
Janice uses her photography knowledge and
experience to teach the participants and lead effective discussions.

Francois

Great event. very professional and informative.

Judy

I very much enjoyed Janice's level 1 class. The point of the class was to learn how to use the other functions
of the camera beside the automatic mode. By the end of the 5 hour class I definitely felt more comfortable and ready
to practice what Janice taught. Janice is a very good teacher and took time to check in on each of us as we tried
out each mini lesson. I plan on signing up for her level 2 class or maybe a one-on-one session.

Linda

This was a great introductory course for those wanting to learn some of the fundamentals of using their digital SLR (DSLR).
Highly recommended for a one day intro.

I'm so glad I took this workshop. There were many times when I accidentally did a good thing and produced a solid
image but I was never sure of how I got there. This class sealed that up for me and I'm really enjoying what I've learned!
I'm looking forward to taking some more classes and improving on my current level. Rayven would like to expand
her knowledge on night shooting and I'll likely take that course with her along with some others. Please keep us on your
email list for future courses. Thanks again Janice - it was a very pleasant day of learning. You're a great teacher
as well as a brilliant artist.

Cheers! Colleen

Amazing! Thinking of taking the second class. :)

I thoroughly enjoyed spending my day learning from you. Your expertise, tricks and vision have inspired
me back toward my long lost love of photography ...thank you!!! I am very much looking forward to what's next...!!

Vicki

Janice Street is a warm and patient teacher and we learned a good deal of stuff in her class. She ensured we
were all up to speed, gave everyone one-on-one attention when needed and I'm looking forward to
taking more classes with her. Colleen

Janice's classes were amazing she is a top notch teacher and photographer (spoken as her worst student!).
She has certainly challenged and re ignited my passion for photography and for improving my skills.
I would recommenced her classes to both beginner and intermediate levels and beyond. - Sue

I really enjoyed your course, Janice.  You obviously have a passion and a talent and it is great that
you are willing to share that.  I learned a lot about settings on my camera, and now just have to practice!
 I loved seeing some of your pictures.  They are amazing!  And inspiring! - Ellen

Fantastic course. Greatly inspirational, fun and motivating. Hope to do the next one sometime! Thanks Janice!

She is an excellent teacher. Most of the students were in photography for many years including myself. (Level 2)
I have learned many techniques from her. Arvind

I really learned a lot during the coarse. The day flew by, I liked that it was a hands on coarse as well. Brittany

Janice helps to simplify the whole photographing experience! Interesting and fun!!! - Arlene

After the level 1 workshop I registered to the level 2 one. She makes everything very easy to understand
and good balance of theory and practical exercises. _Jessica

Janice, thank you for the photo workshop yesterday at Centre Point, 
looking forward to many hours of practice with my Nikon.  
Your teachings and easy steps to follow on the camera have given me the confidence
 to stay off the automatic settings. Looking forward to more or your
 teachings and sharing of your passion for photography. 
Catherine

I just wanted to thank you for a great class. I really learned allot and now I will be able to use
my camera to its full potential. I would recommend your class to friends and family.
