Who should Attend?
Everyone interested in improving their technical photographic skills are encouraged to participate. Customized instructional materials have been designed for beginners, advanced amateurs, and professionals. Participants are typically a mixture of amateur and semi-pro photography enthusiasts. Reservations may be made online.


What are the Instructional Goals?
Classes have been designed to provide a common technical base on which to build creative confidence, teach techniques and practices for working safer in a dangerous environment, as well as increase the understanding of copyright, licensing and marketing related to photo sales. Emphasis is on correct camera and equipment techniques at the moment of exposure rather than time-consuming post-processing.


Film or Digital Imaging?
Although these classes concentrate on digital photography instruction, traditional film information is also available.


What should I Bring?
Participants in all programs are expected to bring their camera, accessories, extra batteries, extra film, and instruction book.


How much Workflow and Software Instruction is included?
The priority and majority of instruction concentrates on the accurate and correct creation of the photograph in the camera rather than through the wasteful, time-consuming process of software image correction. Digital workflow and software options may be discussed during the photography instructional programs. But, those discussions tend to follow the strict software manipulation guidelines established by international wire services.


What is the Student to Instructor ratio?
Group sizes are restricted to allow for maximum interaction between participants and the instructor. The specific maximum class sizes are shown on the Workshop Schedule/Reservations web page.


What about Incliment Weather?
Except in rare instances, all programs will proceed rain-or-shine. Schedules may be adjusted to accomodate local conditions and for safety considerations.


What is the Refund Policy?
Details regarding reservation cancellations may be found online at Workshop Terms and Conditions.
