We loved having Reem teach an intro to phone photography class with the Urban Farm staff and the members of the Parkdale-Cromdale community. She is an excellent teacher--she's knowledgeable, clear, and warm. She has an ability to explain things in a way that is supportive and encouraging! We all learned a lot from that workshop and started using the her tips and tricks immediately. We definitely all took better pictures throughout the summer!

I recently took the Using Your Manual Mode course and I absolutely loved it! George is an amazing instructor. He is so patient and is always happy to answer any questions we have. He is good at explaining things in a way that is easy to understand. It is great that the class sizes are small as well so that he is able to answer questions one-on-one when needed. I learned so much and I definitely plan to take more courses through CPLC.

On behalf of the Okanagan Photographic Society we are very pleased with the instructional presentation we received from CPLC. Reem delivered informative material in an engaging, relaxed and professional manner. Her subject knowledge and use of technology combined with her cheerful genuine personality made for a terrific evening. Our club looks forward to working with Reem again in the near future.

Reem's course was amazing! I learnt so many practical tips and skills to implement. I would highly recommend her courses to anyone. I already booked in for another course. Reem was so friendly and kind and really made the class so enjoyable!

I signed up for photography classes after years of wanting to learn. George made the experience so seamless and fun, he took complex things and explained them in a fun and easy way. The best part is that he wasn't there to 'sell us' cameras but guided us on how to choose based on our needs and preferences. I highly advise working with George, and I will be taking more lessons down the line when available.
