James is a fantastic photography instructor. My favourite parts of his 101 and 201 courses were their associated homework assignments which motivated me to plan and take specific shots. They gave me a great foundation on using my camera and taking good photos.

The Complete Lighting and Shooting Workshop offered by James was well worth the money. James is knowledgeable and was great at explaining technical details.

Mark Knapp

enjoyed the course a great deal and learned a lot.

James is an excellent teacher. He is very knowledgeable and has a great delivery style.The supplemental written materials are also excellent and include many example photographs that help to clearly explain the subject. This interactive course has given me a very good understanding of my camera’s features and a good basic foundation in photography. It was also a pleasure meeting and learning from the other students. I’m very happy I chose this course and don’t hesitate to recommend to others who are interested in developing their photography skills. Thank you James this wonderful opportunity to learn from you.

I did the 101 class online and James is a great teacher. He does an excellent job of connecting the technical aspects of the camera with the creative intentions of the desired photographs. The class size was small and the feedback was very helpful. James takes the time to explain the concepts and has a very in-depth practical knowledge.

Morgan Schaaf

A great beginner course! James explains new concepts and terminology well and in a way that helps you remember. Small class sizes are great as well that make time for one on one questions as well.

Hugh Wilson

Studio was easy to find and there's municipal parking 2 blocks away. (Drove from out of town) I recently attended the Complete Lighting and Shooting Workshop. James was very thorough in explaining all the course content in a relaxed and fun environment. Class size was 8 students which allowed for personal interaction and attention. If any one is wanting to get into studio photography, this is a great workshop to take your photography skills to a new level.

elena sturza

Photography101 class with James was worth all the money and some more. James is such a professional, thorough and his explanations and instructions are on point. I felt engaged throughout all the classes and were so easy to follow. I feel like I have discovered a whole new world with my camera and looking forward to going out there and practicing everything I learned. Thinking about Photography 202 but for now just need to play a bit more with the camera. I highly recommend James's classes, you will get so much out of them I assure you. Thank you James, all the best!!!

Tim Kingsmill

I would highly recommend taking the online courses from Cameraschool.ca. Modern cameras are very complex and James has made it easy for me to master and learn more about photography at the same time. Well done James!

Juliana Feng

James is an incredible teacher and highly knowledgeable. I enjoyed every course that was filled with practical insight into photographing any subject. His explanations make it easy to relate to, and the homework assignments were vital in helping me improve. His courses are personalized, taking the time to make sure you understand the mechanisms in your camera. I highly recommend this course to anyone simply looking to freshen up their camera skills or for beginners. I look forward to not using the ‘auto’ mode and experimenting with my camera!

Shannon Rivest

If you are looking for an excellent introduction to your camera features, photography techniques in a virtual group setting, then look no further. James shares his vast knowledge of photography in four easy to grasp sessions. He is a very patient teacher who wants you to succeed in your dream of becoming a great photographer. I recommend his course to everyone.

Excellent course for the beginner and intermediate photographer. James is an excellent instructor and can take a complex topic and translate it into meaningful, clear sections so that it is meaningful. Combined with his patience and listening ability the course is well worth the investment. The homework assignments support the material discussed in class and weekly critique helps to drive the point of the exercise home. Definitely worth your time.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about cameraschool.ca. James is a fantastic teacher and was able to provide detailed explanation about photography concepts and tips, as well as explain how each student’s specific camera works for each topic. Very helpful! I highly recommend taking classes with cameraschool.ca. Looking forward for the next session! Thanks again James!

Phil Mac

The Photo 101 course was awesome. James is a great teacher and kept the course very interesting. The time would just fly by. I had my camera for so long but never really knew how to use it. This was the perfect way to get me back into taking pictures, especially now that I can do so much more with it. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to get the most out of their camera!!

Sujeetha Moorthy

I was first hesitant to sign up for the photography 101 through cameraschool. However I am extremely happy I did this. Our instructor was James and he was an excellent teacher. He was full of knowledge and exceptional at what he does. I enjoyed doing the home work assignments. I can't wait to see what the future holds for me. I am super excited to put more time and effort into learning photography.

Giuseppe Clementi

I thoroughly enjoyed the Photography 101 course. James was a great instructor and made the introductory course very instructive and easy to follow. I tried many times unsuccessfully to learn on my own, even with some online video courses, but to no avail. James simplified the approach to photography and the live class made the learning impactful. I look forward to the level two course.

Tony A

Enjoyed the lessons and learned more that I thought I would, Thanks James

Nilla G

I have wanted to take a photography course for many years and I am very happy that I finally did with cameraschool.ca. I was so pleased with Photo101 that I signed up for and just recently completed Photo201 as well. James is extremely knowledgeable and very friendly. The course material is very well laid out and easy to follow. The hands-on activities are enjoyable and the feedback provided by James is helpful and informative. I have learned so much about photograph and how to use the settings on my camera to create great photos. If you are currently stuck in AUTO mode, then take a course with cameraschool.ca and you will quickly be amazed at how much more you and your camera really can do!

Leah Rutherford

Great course. Demystified the terms and concepts of photography. Can't wait to try out my new skills.

Meghan Johnson

I just completed the online Photography 101 course and was so pleased with the value I received for my money with this course. James is excellent at describing the features within your individual camera to help you get the most out of your equipment. His way of explaining how the mechanics of the equipment works, makes it seem much less daunting too. He makes himself available at the end of each class for any questions you may have and makes each class enjoyable to attend. Valuable tips on homework assignments to continue your improvement as a photographer are also very helpful. I have signed up for the Photography 201 class and am looking forward to taking my learning further! Very worthwhile class to take if you’ve just purchased a DSLR or a mirrorless camera. Thank you!

Linda B.

I am thrilled with the Photography Lighting Workshop taught by James. It was an amazing day filled with hands on activity and a lot to digest. Well worth it! I had also taken his Photo 101 and 201 courses and was very happy with the course, the content and the instructor. James has an easy going teaching style that helps the student not be intimidated by the camera.

Keith Sheardown

Excellent workshop for anyone looking to improve their flash photography skills. James does a tremendous job of making technical issues easy to understand and the team he puts together make for an enjoyable day. Money very well spent.

nycar morris

I just finished the THE COMPLETE LIGHTING AND ​SHOOTING WORKSHOP, Let me just say this was the BEST!!!! lighting course i have ever taken, James is very knowledgeable and the delivery of his course was EXCELLENT, I would RECOMMEND this course 1000%. You will leave here feeling 100% satisfied. Overall Camera School was excellent.

Laura Clysdale

Just finishing the 101 online course at Cameraschool.ca and it has really been a great experience! It's exactly what I was hoping for when I signed up. I was wanting to learn the basics of how to use my camera and how to use/change different settings etc to take a great photo. So far I have learned everything I was hoping for and much more. Would highly recommend!

Bev Shreve

Just finished Photo 101 course. Really enjoyed it and learned a lot. James is well prepared and his presentation style is relaxed and comforting. Information is personalized as he addresses features for each student’s camera. Found weekly practical assignments and feedback very helpful. Looking forward to Photo 201 hopefully in the fall after I’ve had a chance to play around with what I’ve learned in 101.

Krista Norman

Coming back to photography and with new a brand of camera I have never used before I took the 101 course! I had such a wonderful time learning about the different functions as well as refreshing the basics of photography .. homework was always fun and seeing the creativity of each individual was quite enjoyable. James was thorough and open to opinions and discussions and such a wonderful teacher! His ability to express the importance and use of aperture and shutter speeds and iso .. worth every moment I had in the 4 week class

Winston Stewart

I thoroughly enjoyed this course, the content was easy to understand and put into practice. Jim is one of the best instructors that I have had over the years. His teaching style and experience in the field made the learning experience that much better. looking forward to future courses.

Heather Young

Just took both Photo 101 and 201 with James. He's awesome! Lots of fun, he really knows his stuff and its great for folks that are beginners or even intermediate that want to learn from another perspective. I highly recommend for anyone looking to get a jump start in the basics of photography :)

Veronica Baker

I took James’s 3-week 101 Bootcamp virtually. I had zero photography experience and now feel comfortable using many of the functions on my camera. Since class sizes are small, James can take the time to show functions and options for each user’s individual camera and also respond to each homework assignment. Will be back to take the next class!

René Th.

Wow! I would give six stars if I could. I had taken beginner's photography classes before with great pro teachers in Montréal and I thought I would try this school as a refresh. Honestly, I was flabbergasted by James' teaching method. He is absolutely the best teacher i know. Not only does he master the theory, he is above all, the best so far to explain in a very simple ways confusing stuff as shutter speed and ISO, focal length, etc., and make it clear and simple. I am definitely taking the 201 class next September!

Nic S

James was a great instructor, he had a vast knowledge of Photography concepts and gave insight and tips on how to achieve great shots.

Dagmara Makarski

Jim is a phenomenal instructor. He is able to deliver photography concepts in a way that are easy to understand, and can be remembered for practice and future use. Homework assignments were fun to complete and Jim reviewed each students work before every class. I was also amazed by his knowledge of everyone's different cameras. He spent extra time with me after each class to answer additional questions and provide guidance for my photography and equipment. Thank-you Jim!!!

John Gancz

I have owned a DLSR for years but was always apprehensive about the complexity of it. James was was able to introduce the details about the tool in a way that was related to the photography topics that we were discussing in a way that was non-threatening. James is open to questions and provides feedback in a non judgemental way that serves to make us think about the topics at hand. I look forward to taking the next level course and would definitely recommend cameraschooI.ca and James for those new to DSLR as well as those looking to improve their craft.

Patricia Guest

I really enjoyed camera school 101 and 201. I learned so much and I am looking forward to continuing on my own. James was a excellent instructor, very patient, and clear. He made it easy to understand. I highly recommend any of his classes.

Wendy Thurston

I just completed the photo 101 course with James. I am looking to improve the quality of my photos going forward and decided a course would be beneficial. This course was very informative and James is such a wonderful teacher. He is knowledgable and has such an ease when it comes to making things that are complicated become easy for the students to understand. Homework was assigned each week and the class would start with review of the assignment giving helpful comments as to how things could have been improved. This exercise was very instructive even watching the critique of other class members homework photos. At the end of class he would always stay around to receive any unanswered questions. I was sad to have the course end and I have now signed up for Photo 201 with James and look very forward to the next level of teaching. James also showed some of his portrait photography during class, and it is clear he is an accomplished photographer. This 2 hour class a week for 4 weeks was most enjoyable!

Jeri Campbell

Jim has immense knowledge on cameras and shares that knowledge expertly. I love camera school 101 course. I have learned a lot. Will sign up 4 201 course too.

Angie

I took the online 101 with James and it was fantastic. I learned so much about how to use my camera more effectively, and how to control the settings to get the creative effect i want. I am a hobbyist and have read many photography books. But this course through the assignments, made me accountable. It meant getting out, experimenting with lots of photos and applying the lessons. Getting feedback from James on how well the lesson was learned was valuable. He is a great instructor. James teaches the same material daily, and yet the online class never felt robotic, the teaching delivery was never rote and boring. He was familiar with everyone's camera settings in our group. He teaches at a good pace for the group, provides individual instruction and is always available to answer questions after class, or via email. I am looking forward to 201! James - When Covid is a distant memory, you need to have Henry's fly you to Vancouver to teach in person lightning and shooting in RAW.

Samantha Evans

I just completed photography 101 and Wow what a great experience! I was so pleasantly surprised by how interactive and engaging the virtual classes were and LOVED the straight forward, simple to follow lesson plans and delivery by James. The homework each week was a great way to solidify the lessons taught and a perfect opportunity to practice new techniques and receive constructive feedback. I look forward to taking more classes with James to continue to enhance my photography skills.

Lindsey Best

James is a knowledgeable and engaging teacher. I would highly recommend this class to anyone starting out in photography!

Phil Zwart (Phil246)

James did an excellent job guiding us to unlock the power of some of the camera's more powerful features: focusing, depth of field, and motion; and how to use these features to tell more interesting stories with our pictures. The homework assignments helped provide us with practical experience. The organization was excellent. I had understood some of the concepts before, but through the course received practical tips to use the more creative modes on my camera and the confidence to try things out. Thanks James!

Sam Shavani

I signed up for the 101 class and finished it last week. I am extremely grateful and happy that I had the opportunity to learn from James. James is a very fun, engaging and knowledgable instructor. All email communications and reading materials were provided in advance, which has been really helpful to reference when needed. The BEST part was the homework! We had the opportunity to get creative and apply the knowledge learned when taking photos. I truly appreciated and loved the feedback as it helped me understand where I could improve and where I did great! Right after I finished the 101, I signed up for the 201 class which will start in March! So excited! Today, I had the opportunity to participate in the “Why Shoot in Raw” webinar. Short and to the point seminar with lots of information. I look forward to many more to come! For anyone that is looking for an engaging session, James is your person!

annewithane

Thoroughly enjoyed my time in Camera school and learned so much about the fundamentals of photography. James is a fabulous teacher and welcomes all questions. He makes his students feel comfortable and the knowledge I gained has already significantly upped my photography game! Thanks James!

irene oviedo

I learned so much in this 4 week course! James is an amazing instructor! very patient, extremely knowledgeable and did I mention patient? I highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn more about their cameras!

Emma Mitchell

I really enjoyed the photo 101 online course and highly recommend it. I found the set up very easy to follow. Receiving the written notes was also very helpful for my style of learning. There was a really logical flow to the structure of the classes and each one built on the previous ones. James was a very engaging and dynamic instructor. He is very knowledgable and a very efficacious teacher. The format of the class made it very easy to ask questions. I also loved the homework assignments, I think that was a big part of the improvement I've seen in my photos.

Nothing but positive feedback about camera school! Grateful to James and his excellent teaching/photography skills and professionalism. Big thank you!

Raymond Low

Now that I'm retired, I have more time to focus on digital photography -- one of several hobbies to keep me occupied and on the path of continuous learning. Of course, there is a lot to absorb but Henry's and their association with CameraSchool.ca makes it fun and practical. I recently took part in the 6-hour Complete Lighting and Shooting Workshop Event as taught by James Ogilvie and had a great time. Best of all, no previous studio experience required! I learned about the type of equipment needed to light a scene (both in studio and outdoors -- weather permitting) and how to modify light for artistic effect. Some time was spent discussing light and its importance when photographing people, the majority of the time was spent actually taking photos of professional models under various setups (athletic, portraiture, glamour, fashion, etc). This, I think, is what distinguishes the workshops offered at CameraSchool.ca from all others. You learn some core principles but the emphasis is about applying these principles in real life situations. While I don't have plans to open a studio myself, I'm confident the information I learned from this workshop will carry over to other areas of my photography (as when taking photos of still-life or shooting outdoor portraits). If you want to learn more about studio lighting or simply want to expand your photographic knowledge, then I highly recommend this course!

Philippe Robert

I took the 101 course and was amazed how Jim easily transmits his knowledge on photography to us, his passion transpires in his presentations. This was truly worth the time and money spent on this course. I can't wait to start the 201 course next month. Philippe

Zahra40408

Great class and great instructor. I have learned many things about photography.

Val Rorai

I have just finished Photo 101 Online and can't wait for Photo 201 to start! James is an excellent instructor and I'd recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn how to improve their photography.

Heather Eaton

Just completed The 101 course, and knew nothing beforehand. James is a great teacher, offering clear notes, information and instruction to complex cameras. He gave great tips on how to take interesting and creative pics, and gives good feedback on how to improve. I highly recommend this course!

Colleen McGrath

I took Photo 101 online and it was fantastic. The class size was perfect. James was very patient and did a great job of explaining concepts and ensuring everyone understood before moving on. I really enjoyed the class and will be joining Photo 201 in a few weeks. Can't wait:)

Mimi M

I am a complete photography beginner. I took a 4 week course with camera school.ca and now I feel like I know what I'm doing. Jim was absolutely wonderful. He made the course easy to understand and was always eager to answer all of our questions. I highly recommend this course!

Heather Mitchell

I just completed Camera 101 Online. Fantastic! Jim is very knowledgeable and presents the material in a clear and enjoyable maner. The course exceeded my expectations.

Irene Oviedo

I took the online course with Jim and I am so happy I did! I learned so much from him in the course. He is very knowledgeable and extremely patient and did I mention knowledgeable ? Keep up the good work!! I would definitely enroll in more courses! keep them coming please. (In case you don't remember me, I am Nikon D750 with a 50 mm lens😀)

Sarah Childs

James was a great teacher, no matter how silly my questions felt he answered them above and beyond. He knew when to go into detail on things and when not to based on the student's interest. Definitely was worth the time + money, I feel like I can actually take better pictures now and that my fancy camera isn't just a glorified point and shoot. He also tailored parts of the class around the types of camera's each student has to make it less of a guessing game about which buttons/menu options you should be using.

philip dasilva

All these courses are great and you learned so much from them. I noticed such a great improvement in my photographs after taking these courses. This is due to Jim's amazing teaching methods. He has a lot of knowledge in photography and in all the different camera brands. I would highly recommend everybody to take this course. Jim is a great teacher and really teachers in a way that everybody could understand. Thank you so much Jim for all the knowledge that you have shared and for your Love of photography. I would never have been able to take these photos without your classes.

henry collins

Excellent course! There were a few hiccups with video/audio during the course, but they were handled quickly and no content was lost because if it. The class size was perfect for this type of a course (5). I would highly recommend anyone wanting to learn about their camera and all that it can do, take this course.

Andrew Stevens

I am in the process of taking the Photo101 4 week course led by Jim. I am a rank amateur whose experience today taking good photographs has been hit and miss and so I decided to take this course. Why? The course is 4 sessions of 2 hours each except the first one which goes for 3 hours, and ours was delivered on-line due to COVID. To be frank I preferred this format. The curriculum is perfect for me. Lots of interactions with the other class mates and lots of excellent feedback. I like Jim's style, the flow was well paced and the amount of pre-work done by Jim is appreciated. ( You let him know what camera you have and he takes this into consideration when he's discussing settings in the course). The value provided is great.

This is a great way for beginners to learn everything about their camera and photography. Even if you feel like you already know everything I bet you would learn something new in this class. Jim is an amazing teacher with tons of knowledge on every aspect of photography. He is also very familiar with all the different camera brands and how they function. His classes are very fun and I always look forward to every Sunday because I knew there is something new that I would learn. I highly recommend taking any of these courses.

Donnafay

Jim is an excellent instructor. I recommend the Cameraschool courses from learning the basics (101) to learning how to create cool and creative results (201). Jim caters to all student levels in his classes, you will not be left behind.

Wenda Li

I have take Photo 101 and 201 with Jim and I highly recommend taking any of his courses. He is extremely knowledgeable and you can tell he enjoys teaching photography. What I like about his courses is that there are homework assignments and that the whole class can review each other's photos.

Sheldon Adelson

The curriculum is well thought out and structure to learn quickly, addressing the important things first and in sequence. The minimal homework is easily done in < 30 minutes and reinforces each class. The physical environment is very comfortable, well light and equipped with camera’s connected to an overhead projector. Most importantly, instructor Jim Ogilvie is exceptional! Very experienced and knowledgeable, his skill is taking something that can be complex and daunting, and packaging and delivering it is a clear and concise manner. Hi passion for the subject keeps the class engaging and he always gets to the core of students question and our misunderstanding. Jim also blends the art of “what to think about” when planning a shot and the science of “how to make the camera perform” to do precisely that. High Value!!

Rob Jemmett

This is a great workshop for anyone who wants to understand basics of lighting. Although most of my experience was taking landscape pictures, I wanted to get into portrait photography and found this workshop gave me a great foundation to understand the different technologies of speed/strobe lighting and to work with real models in different lighting scenarios. James has a great style of teaching and together with being able to take photographs of live models in different lighting setups is an excellent way to learn. On top of the hands on work, you get follow-up documentation with student notes that includes the technical details James reviews in the workshop, as well as the layout of the lighting used in the workshops as a reference with the exact setup of the lighting used for the pictures you took in the workshop. I’ve already recommended this to some of my photography friends.

Brian John Hill

I can't speak highly enough about the courses offered by Camera School with Jim! The 5 week 101 and 201 courses provide a foundation for novices to pro enthusiast! Jim's teaching style and class environment is welcoming and fun! Never a dumb question! Always lots of feedback to help improve your photographs. Just loved the 2 courses so much that I enrolled in the 'Lighting Workshop.' The pace and organization of materials in the 6 hour workshop was well thought out and thorough. The workshop includes participating in various photo shoots with professional models both in the studio and outside in a nearby park. By the end of the session you have lots of new knowledge, professional photos taken by you and .pdf notes for future reference. So great to have a great instructor! I highly recommend Camera School to photographers interested in learning how to 'create' (not just take) photos!!!

Sian Meikle

My family of three took the 101 camera course with James - we thought it was great! The class was just the right size - plenty of individual attention, but enough students to learn from each others' questions. James wrangled a range of ages, experience and learning styles easily so that the weekly classes were fun and informative for everyone. The skills we've learned have stayed with us and improved our photography (and comfort with our cameras) so much. Recommended - thanks, James!

Nicole Poulin

I have just finished the photography courses 101 and 201 with Camera School. Jim was a wonderful teacher. He had a way to communicate his passion and I feel I have learned a great deal with him. I am not afraid anymore to experiment with my camera, thanks to Jim who was patient enough to answer questions ... again and again! I would not hesitate to take more classes with Camera School. Nicole

Wendy Rose

Jim is a great teacher. I started with a 101 class and then because of his passion and excellent teaching skills I immediately signed up for the 201 course. He will teach you the basics of your camera, how to use the modes and answer all of your questions and then through the homework assignments you get to practice and apply what you learn each week. I would not hesitate to recommend these courses to anyone. You will come out with a strong knowledge base that you will use for years to come.

Jasper Quach

Recently I was taking Jim’s Photo 101 and just completed his Photo 201 at Henrys in Toronto last week. His explanations are easy to follow, and his materials are shot and clear. Before I met Jim, I was struggling to understand the exposure triangle. In other words, somehow I thought I knew how to take a clear and sharp image but eventually failed. After learning some basic skills from Photo 101, all of a sudden, I started taking better pictures, and as a result of this unexpected improvement, the number of followers on my Instagram has increased tremendously. And after completing Photo 201, now I feel more confident in my photography abilities and am ready to start my photography journey on my own. I was so lucky to have Jim as my instructor. He is the best among all other instructors I have met.

Duygu Basmaci

I have been learning with Jim for over a span of 3.5 years starting with his basic 101 workshop, then 201 and finally his complete lighting and shooting workshop. I didn't even think about looking for another resource to learn from once I took my first course with him despite the abundance of options in Toronto and online education. You just know when you find the right teacher! As I developed my portfolio, purchased a better camera (after a decade with a point-and-shoot) and was ready to gain a deeper understanding and start using more tools for professional results, his encouraging and passionate teaching style gave me a solid foundation to keep growing. Currently, at my job as a multi-media marketing director I feel much more confident to take on projects asked of me and I finally started my work as a free-lance photographer, as well. Every class I took with him had a very beneficial hands-on component and his pre and post-class notes provided all that I needed to refer back to in the long run. He was so kind to respond to my questions even months after the workshops were done. His great sense of humor is just the cherry on top! 🍒 Highly recommended!
