Testimonials

Read some of the great things Natalie's students have been saying about her:

"Natalie is easy going with a genuine smile and a sincere heart. Her enthusiasm for photography is contagious and makes going to class a pleasure. She is patient and encouraging; no matter how the assignment turns out in the end, she applauds the effort, offers helpful hints and makes you believe in your potential."
- Andrea L.

“I've had wonderful experiences taking your classes. You were particularly effective in removing the fear from the learning process, and replacing it with fun. I enjoyed the hands on, experiential approach...especially the Chinatown night shoot! The small classes allowed for a very direct and personal approach, which I needed. The one on one training in the darkroom has been invaluable to my growth as a photographer. THANKS!”
- David H.

"Natalie really knows her craft! I knew I had a gift but the technical stuff boggled me. She brought the material to me with such simplicity, humour and fun that I soon "got it" and was shooting with confidence and skill that I didn't have before. Sign me up for Level 2!"
- Christopher S.

Natalie's knowledge and vast experience has effectively been applied to her natural ability to teach, with a great deal of insight of her students, their needs, and her wonderful enthusiasm for subject matter and students.

I have worked in the film and television industry for more than 20 years but not until I took the beginners class with Natalie Kauffman did I understand how to take a picture with my 35 mm camera. Natalie opened the door and beckoned us in, one by one, into the world of photography. With a quick laugh and a supportive smile, Natalie encouraged growth in each individual in our class. Being careful to teach by example, Natalie used our class projects as a way to inspire not only the individual photographer but the class as a whole. Encouraging our differences, celebrating our personal achievements made it so much easier to absorb the wealth of information we were being given."

Great atmosphere, easy going, not too technical but very informative. It was relaxed, fun and a great time. I learned a lot.
