The creative choices you make as a professional photographer are like your fingerprints; their patterns are uniquely yours. Whether aesthetic or technical, emotional or practical, conscious or unconscious, such choices ultimately define your photographic vision. This advanced workshop heightens your sensitivity to the decision-making process, increases your awareness of the creative possibilities available to you, and inspires you to work with both new and existing tools in exciting, effective, expressive, and unexpected ways. Our focus is not about validating your present work but, rather, it’s about laying the creative groundwork for the images you have yet to make, and making them truly, authentically yours.

Daily explorations in the Workshops’ fully-equipped studio or on location in Santa Fe offer each participant the opportunity to work with existing or artificial light to illuminate the subject and create new ways of seeing.
