DSLR Camera Workshops
From Beginners to Pros
Do you want to demystify ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture?
Want to learn about cameras, lenses and photography in a fun, interactive and hands-on group?
Want to learn about the more advanced specifications on gear, how to shoot like a pro or get sharper images?
Learn all the basics right up to advanced classes to take your photography to the next level with our affordable Saskatoon camera courses.
The most comprehensive and easy to follow, hands-on workshops. Hosted and curated by Paramount Camera Repair, you will see demonstration cameras, lenses and have access to years of repair knowledge unlike any other photography class can offer. With hundreds of lens and body calibrations under their belt as well as advanced lens analysis and testing on almost every AF camera lens ever made, you will get real world, unbiased advice on image quality, sharpness, performance and durability of lenses. No sponsors here, we love all makes of cameras and lenses.
The internet is filled with conflicting points of view, bad advice, biased recommendations and brand sponsored reviews which make it very difficult for photographers to find reliable, honest information and advice. We are changing that with transparent recommendations, real-world testing results and hands on demonstrations.
Our photography workshops are like no other and we keep it small and personal. We have 4 to 8 people per class so you get plenty of personal one-on-one attention and there's lots of time for Q&As. Plus we tend to laugh a lot and have a pretty good time. So bring your sense of humor with you.
