Prepare your portfolio, garner your gumption, and harness your Hasselblads and Holgas: you are hereby invited to be one of the lucky few to experience Rodney Smith revealing the secrets to his success.

Witness firsthand the photographic glories Rodney Smith has to offer. You will be his legacy, his finest achievement to date! You will learn the intricacies of a professional photo shoot, the mysteries of directing a model, and the "fine print" of the photo business.

Come May 16, Rodney will fling open the gates of his Sneden's Landing estate and transfer his photographic prowess directly into the minds of 14 lucky participants.

Join Rodney for four lavish days of portfolio reviews, lectures, food, and photographing. And, if the daily mind-meld becomes too much, relax by the pool and let the New York sun burn away your worries and cares. Escape the scrutiny and pressure with daily shuttle service to and from New York City, that shining metropolis of brick and steel.

This workshop will focus on the emotions and psychology of photography, with the purpose of improving your photographs. This is not a technical workshop.
