"I would say go for it; best investment ever!"

"I am an amateur photographer and years ago took lessons from local photographers in my city to learn basic photography! Years went by but I was unhappy with my pictures, always wondering why they were never crisp or sharp. A chance 5 day free lessons by Learn Photography company introduced me to Jana.

Jana’s amiable persona and her knowledge tugged me to the Photography In Focus course! This is by far one of the best photography courses I have taken! I thoroughly enjoy the weekly assignments! Lessons are lucid, videos are easy to follow with great examples, [and] I love that lessons are self paced and we get to do our assignments in our own environment! It’s not like in a boring class room, stuck with just one example to deal with and we are not in a place outdoors which we are not used to! With students from various cities, we learn from each other every week as everyone has a different perspective!

If you are on the fence of taking your photography from "meh" to "WOW", this is the course! You will not regret it!

What they're saying...

★★★★★

"Would I recommend the Photography in Focus Course? Absolutely 100%! This program is amazing. It is in depth, detailed and super well put together. The instructors are personable, eager to help and so encouraging. My skills and confidence have grown by leaps and bounds. If you want to go from taking okay pictures to amazing photographs, this is the place to be."

Judy Rissling

★★★★★

"I joined the Course as I wish to go professional, honestly I was not expecting to learn a lot and especially in my 1st week. Wow! I got reminded very quickly how much of the basic information we forget to use. Every week I am challenged a little more and it is showing in my photography. Jana works to make sure we all are very good at the level we are at. In hindsight I am glad I am in this course as it is both challenging and can force you to step out of your comfort zone.

Catharina Clarke

★★★★★

"I can not speak highly enough about the PIF Course. The course material is presented in a clear and simple way that I can continue to review over and over again, but having access to Jana to answer questions weekly and help solidify the information has been the key to my learning. The feedback from both the LP team and my classmates has helped with my confidence and ability to get the shot I am trying to get. I only wish I had started sooner."

FAQ

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the amount of content and work required for this course. Are you sure I can do this?

You absolutely can. The course is self-paced, so you're never rushed, and optional live check-ins are there twice a week if you want extra support along the way. You'll have more support available than most online courses offer, on your own terms.

When does the course start?

Your first day will be August 1, 2026. This is when your first week of content is released. Your first optional live check-in is that same week: Tuesday from 12pm - 1pm Mountain Time or Wednesday from 6 - 7pm Mountain Time.

I'm considering becoming a professional, but I'm not sure just yet... Is this the right path for me?

Yes. This course is a great way to find out if photography is the career or side path for you. Even if you decide not to go professional, you'll leave an exceptional photographer, ready to take beautiful photos of whatever you want, whenever you want.

If you do want to go pro, this course provides the foundations you need, and it leads directly into our Photography Mastery Program, a 6-month project-based program that can lead to certification.

What do I need to take this course?

You'll need...

  • A computer
  • A camera (any camera with a MANUAL mode - mirrorless or bridge cameras are fine)
  • A sense of adventure

You could use (but absolutely do not need)...

  • A tripod
  • Filters
  • A reflector

If this is total gibberish to you, don't worry! It's not necessary and we will teach you all about it.

Can I ask questions and get support outside of check-in hours?

Of course. Your instructor is available by email throughout the course, whether or not you're joining the live sessions. If you get stuck or need advice, reach out any time.

When are our live check-ins?

Live check-ins are completely optional: join if and when you want them. They're hosted by David, and recorded and posted to your closed Facebook group, so you can watch (or re-watch) any time even if you don't attend live. Your check-in times are:

Tuesdays from 12pm - 1pm Mountain Time and/or Wednesdays from 6 - 7pm Mountain Time with David, starting the week of August 1, 2026.

Please note: this time may change depending on our students' availability and number of students enrolled.

Do I have to attend the live check-ins?

No. They're entirely optional. We highly recommend joining, especially in your first couple of weeks, but plenty of students go through the whole course at their own pace using the recordings, course notes, and written feedback in the community. Nothing in the course is locked behind live attendance.

How long will I have access to the course once I've completed it?

You will have access to the course forever! Once you complete it, you can go back at any time to review the material (whether it's tomorrow, the next year, or the next decade).

How much time should I set aside for this course?

About 2-3 hours a week if you join the live check-in: roughly 0.5-1 hour to review content, 0.5-1 hour of practice with your camera, and 1 hour for the live session. Skipping the live session? Budget closer to 1-2 hours. Go at whatever pace suits you.

David Benjatschek is a professional photographer with Windows 2 the Soul Photography. His journey started 20 years ago when he met a beautiful woman who happened to carry a camera. His unofficial proposal to Donna, his wife of now 18 years, was the purchase of a Nikon F65 SLR camera at London Drugs. Since then he's had two daughters with Donna, obtained his photography diploma through S.A.I.T., shot family & weddings with his wife and branched out to do commercial shoots for companies like Shell Canada, Onsite Equipment & Coldfront. Since 2008 he has shot and created the Wowtrucks Calendar which is Canada's Big Rig Calendar celebrating the story of 13 professional truckers from coast to coast. People and relationship are at the centre of anything David does.

So his enjoyment of teaching photography naturally comes from the joy it can bring students as they are empowered to capture beautiful images of all life's moments/people/places & things. David brings a genuine heart to help people to the workshops he teaches and loves to make things that may seem complex become simple.
