Paterson Photography Ltd. has been offering courses, classes, workshops & adventures for over 10 years. From private one on one sessions, to groups organizations or classes that we organize we are the first studio to offer training to photographers in Southern Alberta. Many have tried to copy our methods but they cannot copy our experience! Mike Paterson has over 25 years of photographic experience and 20 years teaching photographers, companies and many others how to enjoy photography and get the most out of the equipment that they have.
	Our classes run at our studio in Lethbridge, Waterton Park, Writing on Stone, Calgary, Banff and many other locations around western Canada.   We can add you to one of our scheduled classes, design a one-on-one class just for you, teach a class to your group or organization and so much more.
