Lens Work — Photography

My 16-year-old daughter recently participated in the Lens Work photography program in Toronto, and overall, it was a solid experience. Each week, she learned about digital camera basics and composition, which she found very engaging. The instructor, Sarah, was particularly attentive, providing personalized feedback that helped my daughter feel more confident in her skills. She especially loved the creative project where they had to capture moods through photography. However, the pickup process was a bit chaotic, with long lines forming at the end of the class, which was frustrating for both parents and kids. Despite this, I believe the quality of instruction and the small group size really benefitted her learning. If you have a creative teen, this program is worth considering, just be prepared for a little wait at the end.

I enrolled my 15-year-old daughter in the Lens Work photography class in Toronto, held weekly in Leslieville. The instructor, Sam, was very engaging and provided personalized feedback, which my daughter appreciated. She loved the hands-on approach, especially when they went out to practice composition during a field trip. The small group size allowed for more interaction, and she made a friend who shares her interest in photography. However, I found the extra costs for materials a bit unexpected, as they weren’t clearly outlined at the start. Make sure to ask about that before signing up. Overall, this program has fostered her creativity, and I have seen a significant improvement in her photography skills. I would recommend it to other parents, but just be prepared for those additional expenses.
