Six years ago, I was sitting in a backyard garden, having a glass of wine when someone suggested I should offer a photography class on this new service called Groupon. I had never heard of Groupon and didn't really have an idea for a class, but thought it would be fun to teach again as I had really liked the few classes I had taught for a local college. I called Groupon and they said 'Yes' so I posted a class. We sold 750 in 24 hours!  Fotoscool was born. 

Since then it has been an amazing experience. I have gotten to meet and know so many amazing people, and share a lot of amazing experiences. I have gotten to watch them grow as photographers. One student came to the DSLR1 class with the camera still in the box. Today,  she runs her own photography business!

So, in honour of all of you, and having been with you for so many photography experiences, I have decided to create the next level DSLR class from all your questions and all our experiences together, and all the things missing from your learning.

If you have taken one course with us, or many, this class will get all the kinks out, enhance your skills and teach you things you didn't know. It is a natural extension of the DSLR 1 and 2 course. So, even if you have taken DSLR 1 or 2 this is all new!

In a way, I have been working on creating this class for 6 years:) 

The class will mostly hands on practice,  with fun photo games and things to practice.
