Barb McKenzie<\/strong><\/em> approached us a little over a year ago about joining the ProProgram<\/a> – an intense, part time, self directed photo program that draws on expertise of my photo business of almost 20 years as well as the support of other Programmer graduates and current students.<\/p>\n

Barb wanted to pursue weddings and sports. She had a busy year of learning and shadowing with wedding photographers. A year later she is smiling with a new website<\/a> and a recent showing at a bridal show.<\/p>\n

See some of Barb’s work. And hear what she has to say about her experience:<\/p>\n

“I got my first DSLR camera for Christmas in 2009.\u00a0 My husband I were planning on going to Europe for our vacation so I wanted to learn how to take some awesome vacation photos so I started looking for some courses that would help\u00a0 me achieve those photos.\u00a0 I came across the Creative Fundamentals<\/a> course that Harry offered that spring.\u00a0 Well, that was the start of something bigger for me.<\/em><\/p>\n

When I came back from my vacation in September I had such a great time and was really pleased with my photos, I decided I really wanted to learn a lot more so I started to investigate different programs offered in photography and I decided on the ProProgram Course<\/a> offered through Harry.\u00a0 Two of my ultimate favourite courses included the Hockey Workshop with the Ottawa 67s<\/a> and the Night Lights Workshop<\/a> but one great events for me was assisting Harry with the \u201cSPCA Photos with Santa\u201d<\/a> Fund Raising event in Chelsea.\u00a0 I had an amazing day taking pictures of dogs, cat\u2019s and a pig named Einstein.\u00a0 It was an awesome experience.<\/em><\/p>\n

I was having some major exposure issues and Harry came down to my office at lunch to help me overcome this problem.\u00a0 After a \u00bd hour with Harry\u2019s one on one attention I finally overcame my exposure problems.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Another great advantage of the course is having the current and past ProProgrammers to work with.\u00a0 We often get together for photo excursions, trade advice and expertise.\u00a0 It\u2019s an amazing group of people.<\/em><\/p>\n

It took me just over 1 year, 40 hours of work experience, 5 workshops and 1,000\u2019s and 1,000\u2019s of photos to officially become a ProProgram Graduate and I\u2019m thrilled at where I have ended up. I look back at the first 15 photos that I gave Harry on our first meeting after joining the ProProgram<\/a> and I am beyond thrilled at how far I\u2019ve come. \u00a0I\u2019ve started my own photography business\u00a0bphotography.ca<\/a> and have got to meet some super talented photographers.<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks Harry!\u00a0 It\u2019s been an awesome experience.<\/em><\/strong>”<\/p>\n
