Spend an intensive three days/four nights focused on learning how to take control of your camera and make the photographs you set out to make. Using the structure of an editorial-styled assignment, we'll work on conceiving and planning images, refining your approach and focusing your personal vision, and of course all the technical skills needed to pull it off. A project-based, hands-on format will include lots of photographing, editing, critique, and finally presenting your work. This workshop is designed to accommodate a wide range of styles and abilities.

We welcome all levels of photographers from amateurs, advanced amateurs to the semi-professional.
