I’ve had a number of requests for more info on the Master Classes so here are the most frequently asked questions and answers!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0How does the Master Class differ from a regular workshop?<\/strong> <\/span>\u00a0First, these workshops will be limited to just 5 guests. This will allow much more personal attention and one on one time during the field and classroom time. \u00a0Second, These workshops will be limited to advanced intermediate and very advanced photographers. \u00a0A 15 image portfolio will be requested from any applicant and a phone interview before registration.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    2. \u00a0What will a typical workshop schedule look like?<\/strong><\/span> \u00a0Morning and evening shooting locations and mid-day classroom work. \u00a0In the field the students will be free to shoot what they desire, but will also be given assignments to complete. \u00a0In the clasroom we will do deep diving image reviews with much open discusion about composition, technique and asthetics. \u00a0The clasroom sessions will be very interactive between me and the students.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    3. \u00a0What is the purpose of the phone interview?<\/strong><\/span> \u00a0To help me determine if these Master Classes would be beneficial to the student’s skill level.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    4. What is the cost and what does it cover & how do we pay?<\/strong> <\/span>\u00a0The workshop fee is $950. which covers all in the field and classroom instruction, materials and image reviews. \u00a0It does not cover travel, lodging and meals. \u00a0Once a student has been accepted into a class a $350. deposit is required to hold your spot, the balance to be paid one month prior to the worshop’s starting date.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    5. \u00a0Who should consider attending the Master Classes?<\/strong><\/span> \u00a0In my years of teaching I’ve met and taught a lot of photographers that can make and do make excellent images from time to time. \u00a0If you fall into that catgory and want to make wonderful images on a consistent basis, you’re a candate for the Master Classes. \u00a0The Master Class is designed to help you to make significant improvements to your work and to be able to \u00a0consistently bring home great images. \u00a0Practice does not make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect. You’ll learn perfect practice.<\/p>\n
