Workshop FAQ
What do your workshops look like?
At this time, we offer two forms of workshops. Private, or Group. In Private workshops, we work 1-on-1 with clients to learn the cameras they already own, at a pace that works best for them. With Shared classes, we teach general photography knowledge to aid one on their creative venture!
Private Workshops? That sounds expensive!
Fortunately we keep the cost of our workshop very reasonable. Reality is, I had an amazing mentor at one point who taught me everything I know- and I strongly feel that everyone deserves the chance to have a guide in their learning journey. Ive been teaching photography for awhile now, and I'm comfortable enough with it to pass on what I know. It's my turn to share!
Where are your workshops located?
It depends on the workshop! Most of our workshops will be based out of our studio on the Milford Oval, unless we are hired to privately to travel off site for a workshop. We do (in the nice weather) take short walking trips from the studio out and about (such as on the oval) to learn about outdoor photography.
