Tofino & Surrounding Area Photo Tour - October 2023

Join an Abbotsford-based photography school, Omnilargess Photography Classes, for a weekend of photographing marine wildlife, old-growth forests, rugged coastlines, dramatic sunsets and pristine beaches.

Participants will spend three days exploring this magnificent area with two master photographers, Ted Karlsalr and Brett Michaud, who will be providing guidance and advice along the way. The small class size provides plenty of time for questions and one-on-one instructor interaction.
