Dave Brosha Webinar Presentation – Monday, November 9th at 7pm

“One Of The Most Celebrated Creative Photographers In The World”, (NIKON) brings us his insights for creating great Portraiture.  

Dave Brosha, one of Canada's most respected photographers, will be presenting "12 Lessons In Portraiture" followed by an interactive Q&A session live all the way from PEI.

In this talk, Dave will take you through insights and lessons from a career spanning 15 years making portraits of people young and old. He'll touch on technical, creative, emotional, and real-life “dealing with people” considerations that you can put to work in your own portraiture.

This is a not to be missed presentation.  The ZOOM Webinar will launch promptly at 7pm Monday, November 9th.

Wednesday October 28th 9 AM High Park

The original theme for this Wednesday’s walk was to be a Conservatory visit – but with the current COVID conditions, none in the area are open to the public. However – since the weather is planned to be so nice – here’s one last opportunity to get in a fall walk while the leaves are still colourful. Meet at the parking lot behind the Grenadier Restaurant, High Park, 9AM.
