We had such a great photoshoot with Kristine! Spirit took very well to her, she's a real dog whisperer. The final results were beautiful and something I cherish. She's a real pro !!

I’d reached a plateau, and I wanted more with my camera. Although I didn’t know what more was, Kristine sure did! In the few short weeks, she had me off the manual setting and really understanding the exposure trilogy (IOS, shutter speed, aperture), in order to control how the image was made, and how to critically look at the images I did make. Her patience and step-by-step instructions were clear and understandable. Kristine shaped me into a photographer, an artist even. And I can’t wait to take another course with her!
I very much enjoyed Kristine Richer's Introduction to Digital Photography course that I took two years ago. In fact, her teaching ability, expertise as a photographer, and general professionalism in the classroom so impressed me that I plan to sign up for another course taught by her as soon as possible. Kristine is able to convey her love of the art form, at the same time as help students learn the essentials of photography in a supportive, friendly environment. Her feedback is both helpful and fair, which allows everyone an opportunity to learn, no matter what their skill level. Although the course I took from her was an introduction to digital photography, understandably, some students had more photography experience/expertise than others. Nevertheless, she was able to reach all students, and consequently everyone was treated equally. Therefore, we all had an opportunity to show our work to the class and receive attention and detailed feedback re: our photos. In addition, Kristine's critical feedback to each student was always constructive, as well as instructive from compositional/artistic and technical points of view. Each of us came away having learned valuable skills, and had an excellent time doing it. Consequently, I would highly recommend Kristine as a teacher!
Kristine’s method for teaching photography is very effective. She starts with seemingly simple “basics” and builds on them, session by session. Each time I went out to shoot, I felt I had a few more tools and more confident foundation in my techniques. One of Kristine’s most striking qualities is her positivity, and her ability to find something constructive to say about her students’ work, even when what we were showing her had little going for it! She created a strong sense of community among the classmates, and that sense of supportive friendship made us feel safe to explore our interests and to take risks with our works. Everyone in the class is going to be interested in different kinds of photography, and she encourages you to follow your interests. I began with Kristine like most of my classmates: always curious about photography, and thinking I had “an eye”, but no grounding in the language and technical skills required to produce professional quality pictures. Since I have taken Kristine’s course, I have become a full-time photographer/videographer with a charity, and my camera has become my passport to the world. Using the portfolio I built with Kristine, I was also able to find mentorship with a professional wedding photographer, and have become a busy assistant photographer in the summer months. I have Kristine to thank for spring-boarding my pursuit of this art!
Kristine did a photo shoot for me of my best friend's dog - it was a gift for a milestone birthday. I am completely delighted with the results - they are absolutely stunning and so real. Kristine was able to capture with her lens (and obviously her eye for detail) every single part of Gally's personality. I have worked with professional photographers on previous occasions but Kristine was the most engaging, competent, fun and easy to work with. And aside from being a consummate professional, it was clear Kristine truly loves animals as Gally was instantly comfortable with her. I would hightly recommend Kristine as your photographer of choice and in fact we will be seeking her services for family photos in the near future. Thank you so much Kristine for helping me make my friend's milestone birthday one she will never forget. I know she will cherish the photos forever. Sincerely, Dr. Sandi Findlay-Thompson
