Omnilargess Services President and Founder
With more than 30 years as a photographer, Ted believes exposure is the master key to unlock the potential for great photographs. Regardless of the media you use – digital or film – exposure is very important for capturing the image; it is considered to be the technique of photography, whereas composition is the art of photography. Join Ted on this learning journey, so you too will be able to masterfully use exposure and composition for stunning photographs.
Ted started Omnilargess Services in 2005 as a new area in digital imaging to teach digital photography classes and image editing. In 2014 he opened up a new equipment rental department to help his students exploring pro lenses, bodies, and lighting systems.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/4″][vc_single_image image=”27005″ img_size=”100×100″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ css_animation=”bounceInRight” title=”Brett Michaud”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”3/4″][vc_column_text]Brett Michaud feels most at home on or near the ocean, spending the vast majority of his life in the Vancouver area.

He has been a part of high tech industries and peer training for many years. As a Technical-Artist in the game industry, he was tasked with many things, including training for artists and animators on new programs and technologies. He also helped to speed up workflows and make tools to make things faster for gaming artists.
Interest in digital mediums has led Jonathan to a passion for photography. He currently photographs weddings, engagements, family photos, portraits, and more. He has been working with Adobe Lightroom since the first version came out. Using past experiences training others within the gaming industry, he hopes to transfer this experience and expertise to his Lightroom classes with Omnilargess. These Lightroom classes require no previous experience, as Jon will start right from the basics. All the Lightroom workshops will also compliment our current lineup of Adobe Photoshop editing classes, as Lightroom can be used seamlessly with Photoshop and Photoshop elements as well.
