Description
Street Stories: A Vancouver Photography Weekend (Oct 2–4, 2026) $1375 Promo until May 1, 2026. Reg $1795.
For three days, Vancouver becomes more than a destination — it becomes your classroom, your studio, and your story.
This is not a workshop where you sit and listen.
It’s one where you walk, observe, anticipate… and learn to see.
From the quiet, cinematic streets of Gastown at sunrise… to the electric energy of the Richmond Night Market… to capturing Vancouver from the sky on a breathtaking seaplane flight — every moment is intentionally designed to help you grow as a photographer.
You’ll learn how to:
- Tell compelling stories through your images
- Master light in real-world situations
- Capture motion, emotion, and atmosphere
- Build a portfolio you’re genuinely proud of
And through it all, you won’t be doing it alone.
You’ll be guided personally by David Benjatschek, founder of Learn Photography Canada — a photographer, educator, and storyteller who has spent over two decades behind the camera and years helping people discover what they’re truly capable of creatively.
David’s approach is simple… and powerful.
He meets you where you are, walks alongside you, and helps you see both the technical and creative sides of photography come together in real time. Whether it’s understanding your camera, recognizing great light, or simply building confidence — he’s there in the moments that matter most.
We’ll chase the light together.
We’ll wait for the moment together.
And by the end… you’ll see the city — and your photography — differently.
