⭐️ Featured in the Winnipeg Free Press
In November 2025, the Winnipeg Free Press ran a full feature story highlighting Jeff’s hands-on video, photography, and content creation program - the first of its kind in the city.
The article covered the story behind the program, how it’s taught inside a working studio, and why it’s become such a popular option for adults and new creators in Winnipeg.
This feature recognized the program as a unique, skills-based learning option for people in Winnipeg looking for real, practical training.
📚 A Curriculum Carefully Built From Real-World Experience
I designed the curriculum based on over 14 years of full-time professional experience, breaking down the exact skills, order of learning, and workflows that help beginners become confident creators.
Every lesson, set of notes, and assignment has been thoughtfully structured so each week builds on the last. The goal is to give you a clear path forward - not overwhelm you with disconnected information.
The program includes:
• Carefully written lesson notes and guides
• Hands-on in-studio training with real gear
• A structured progression from beginner skills to complete projects
• A private student portal with supporting video lessons and resources
• Assignments that help you practice what you learn each week
Everything is designed to replace confusion with clarity, and uncertainty with real creative confidence.
🎬 Taught by a Working Professional
I don’t just teach this - I use these same skills every day on real client projects including commercials, corporate videos, interviews, headshots, and branded content.
That means you’re learning techniques that are current, practical, and actually used in the industry today.

Meet Your Instructor!
Hey, I’m Jeff. I’ve been working as a full-time Winnipeg videographer and headshot photographer for over 14 years, creating everything from commercial videos and television content to professional portraits and personal brand shoots.
I’m still just as obsessed with cameras, lighting, creative storytelling, and all the gear and tech that go with it as I was on day one. Over the years, I’ve worked with businesses and creators across Winnipeg and beyond - and now I’m excited to share what I’ve learned to help you build your skills, confidence, and technical understanding behind the camera.
Hands-On Learning Experience
You’ll work on real-world video projects like filming interviews, creating engaging social media content, and capturing smooth, cinematic b-roll using tools such as tripods, gimbals, and sliders. Along the way, you’ll develop essential skills in storytelling, content planning, and camera movement that help your videos stand out with confidence and creativity.
On the photography side, you’ll learn how to take professional-quality headshots and portraits. From lighting setups and posing tips to camera settings and photo editing, you’ll gain the hands-on experience needed to capture clean, flattering images every time. Shoot on an iPhone instead of a camera? Fantastic — we’ll be covering that too!
In both video and photo editing, you’ll get familiar with tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and CapCut for video, along with Lightroom and Photoshop for photo editing. We’ll also explore the latest AI-powered tools to speed up your workflow and unlock new creative possibilities - no prior experience required.
With me by your side every step of the way, you'll receive hands-on guidance as you learn and grow. Plus, you'll be surrounded by a group of like-minded peers, all driven to inspire and support one another throughout the journey.
Group Lessons: Learn, Collaborate and Create
Group lessons offer an exciting and collaborative way to learn video and photography. You'll not only receive expert instruction but also get to share ideas, feedback, and inspiration with others who are just as passionate about video as you are. Working in a group encourages creative growth, fosters a sense of community, and provides diverse perspectives that can elevate your skills even further. Plus, you'll still receive personal guidance and attention while benefiting from the supportive, interactive learning environment.
The Studio
Classes take place in a bright and spacious studio in Winnipeg's River Heights area. The studio is fully equipped with professional gear and offers the perfect setting for hands-on learning, whether we’re shooting headshots, working with lighting, or diving into editing. It’s an inspiring space where creativity can flow, and you'll have all the tools to bring your ideas to life.
