Vancouver Island Landscape & Wildlife Photography by Dave Hutchison
Workshops, private lessons, photo tours, art cards, calendars, & books on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada

Welcome to my private photography lessons section, where clients set their own agenda and learn what they need most in their photography journey.  I have been a professional photographer based on Vancouver Island for over 20 years (live on Central Vancouver Island) and have taught hundreds of people with all levels of ability.  I can save you a lot of time and money by fast tracking your knowledge level so you can spend more time in the field doing what you love - photography!  A few areas I specialize in include long exposures, forest/woodland, waterfalls, seascapes, aerial, & gear consultations (specifically Nikon).

There are two options:
​

1) book a private one-on-one lesson that is based in the field (outlined below).
or
2) book a private Zoom call to assist with your photography (perfect for gear consultations, etc.).
​

Please email via the contact page to check availability before booking.
