Developing a Photographer's Eye Workshops
Refine Your Style. Develop Your Creative Side.
Polish Your Technical Skills.
The Mentorship Program is tailored to your specific goals and is a sure way of accelerting your learning experience. Six-month and one-year programs are available.
Private, individualized instruction is available for select workshops as well as classes individually tailored to your specific needs. These one-on-one sessions can be experienced in the studio and/or on-line.
One-day workshops begin in the studio with an illustrated lecture followed by a short field excursion to put into practice the morning's discussion. After the field session, group members will be encouraged to share their positive comments about each other's work in a gentle, constructive atmosphere.
Evening workshops are held one evening a week over a three-week period. Each week there will be an illustrated discussion followed by an assignment which is to be completed by the following week. A portion of the class will be devoted to critiquing each participant's assignment.
Weekend workshops are intensive three-day programs designed to make the most of early morning and early evening light for shooting sessions, with illustrated lectures in-between.
