The Yet to be Named Workshop

Monday, April 19th, 2010

I taught my Light & Commerce workshop last year and it went extremely well. The feedback was amazing. I’ve stopped them for now. I’m honestly tired of teaching the same thing over and over (it’s not you, it’s me.) I’ve thought about Light & Commerce 2.0 but I don’t really feel like it would be much different.

I absolutely love teaching. I do private one-on-one workshops for people all the time and I mentor in various other ways at my studio and online. I was even told by someone who came to both a L&C workshop and a private one, that he came from a family of educators and thought I had a real gift for it. That really, really inspired me that what I do does help people achieve their goals.

I mention all of this to say that I am really itching to do another day or two of educational learning, but I really want it to be something where the curriculum is driven by the people attending.

I don’t want to pretend to know what aspiring photographers need to learn. I have my clues but the industry is changing so fast, there seems to be a new thing to learn every day.

So with that in mind, I am introducing a yet-to-be-named workshop where you the attendees choose what gets taught. No photography-related subject is off-topic. Pre-production, post-production, workflow, lighting, business are all pretty vague.

Be specific about what you would like to learn. Do you want to go on location, be in the studio, both? Work with models, musicians? No idea is a bad one.

Leave comments below about anything you would like to see covered. If I can get a good curriculum that meets the needs of everyone and can be put together in a cohesive way, I will introduce one soon.

Everyone who submits an idea below will receive $50 off the price when it does launch.
