Thinking of taking a seminar, course or workshop with VPW, but want to find out what other students have been saying about us? You've come to the right place. Below are a few comments from our students. Please come back often as we are updating this section with comments from our recent courses:

"Thank you Marc for a great course today - in Practical Studio Lighting. I love the one-day format and the way you managed to cover so much in one day with a lot of clarity and depth. It was a very useful overview for me plus I had a lot of fun in the afternoon with the models."

"The class was amazing and my photography is at a new level. To make matters worse, I can’t take classes anywhere else now since they just aren’t up to the standard set by Vancouver Photo Workshops; the competition is a waste of time by comparison."

"This has been the best photography course I have ever taken - thank you VPW for keeping the class size small, instructors are the best in the City and we worked with true professional equipment."

"Just wanted to send a quick email in appreciation of the work you did
with us on the Flash Workshop. I really did learn a lot and I think it
was because you not only presented the technical part well but we also
had the opportunity to apply it right after lunch. Like I said at the
end I hardly knew that so much time had gone by. So thank you again"

"Simply the best value in the City - Thank you Marc for an excellent and inspiring workshop."

"This session was just what I was looking for. Thank you Marc for sharing your knowledge with us!"

"Thanks again for the course...tons of very useful info for a newbie like me. Well worth the time and money!!!"

"I wanted to say thanks again as, the workshop was awesome. I am seeing a definite difference in my photos already and am excited to shoot and learn more."

"I can always read photography books or go online to learn specific technical information - what I enjoyed the most today was the real-life problems and solutions offerred by actual working professional photographers. I can't find this in any books or online. Thanks for a fantastic workshop!"

"Small class size and lots of shooting opportunities - I got everything out of this workshop and more."

"Marc and the fellows at VPW bring a great deal of energy and enthusiasm to the sessions. The models are professional and the amount of shooting during the sessions outstanding. Fellow class participants added to the value of class."

"Awesome Workshop! I am finally understanding my flash after a couple years of owning one."

"After having taken many photography courses elsewhere I still was not comfortable using my flash - I learned more in a few short hours than over months taking other classes. Thank you Marc for a great course with lots of real life advice"

"I really enjoyed this (Fashion) course and would take future courses offered by VPW. Wayne Hoerchel’s strengths were his creativity, unique solutions to lighting techniques, and strong work experience. I would recommend this course to others."

"I really enjoyed the open house today and am very impressed with your facility and the great line-up of instructors you have assembled"

"Vancouver was in urgent need for a professional and personable school like yours."

"Well you've certainly been busy...what an amazing program you've created. I think you're doing a great thing for the Vancouver photo community. You are certainly filling a much needed niche"

"Thank you for the informative and incredibly exciting open house that you held on March 5th. It was great to see so much interest from such a wide variety of people, what a lot of positive, high energy! It was inspiring to see the team spirit that is occuring in your new endeavor Marc, and that you acknowledge everyone, your fellow studio partners, your instructors, your students and your lovely wife Xenija in making it all possible. You don't need a wish of 'good luck' you are good luck!"

"When my friends looked at my photographs they couldn't belief that I really was the one who took them - I told them that VPW could help them achieve the same outstanding results as well! Thank you for an excellent class!"

"I have taken many photography classes over the years at different institutions throughout the City and abroad, and your school has set a new standard when it comes to photography instruction - I will be back for more!"

"Excellent Workshop - I never thought I could learn as much in only 3 hours"

"Your attention to even the smallest details makes all the difference - even your coffee tasted great!"

"The energy in the Studio was amazing, nobody wanted to leave."
