This is a hands-on experience designed to spark inspiration, push your creativity, and give you practical tools you can carry into your own work.

“The workshop is ideal for the creative photographer creating standout images. You created an exciting and safe space for learning and engaging with photogs. This workshop creates lifelong friendships. I left far more knowledgeable, confident and ready to edit the numerous images captured over the two days. I schedule my own photoshoot to practice my learnings within 48 hrs. So glad I made the investment "
