Why workshops?  Good question.  Workshops are important in your artistic and personal growth because they enable you to spend time in concentrated learning.  Participating in a workshop will move your art forward at a rapid rate.  I know of no experience comparable because not only is there an instructor with valuable knowledge and experience, there are also other students with the same, or even greater, commitment to the art of photography as you.  Sometimes you will learn as much from your fellow participants as from the instructor. No matter what level of photography you find yourself at there is always something more to learn.  Workshops are invaluable because they immerse you, for a few days, in the process of creating your art.  Whether you are approaching this using film and a traditional darkroom or digital, or a combination of the two as your medium of expression, principles remain the same. Only the methods are different.

Our workshops are conducted in places of stunning beauty.  The locations for these workshops are carefully selected for a great variety of material to portray, great beauty, and easy access.  We try to keep them short and to schedule them at times that have the greatest opportunity to make stunning photographs.  They are infused with enthusiasm, both for the art and technical aspects of photography, and because creating is fun. In fact you'll be a lot more creative if you're having fun. Creating in any art form should be fun, photography is no exception.  While we will work very hard in the workshops, we also will have fun and make friends.
