The Studio Lighting workshop requires a DSLR or mirrorless camera with a hot shoe and the ability to shoot manually.

Any digital camera that allows you to control the basic camera settings will work. If you’re unsure whether your camera is appropriate, contact us before enrolling.

No, we’ll edit together using the instructor’s laptop.

Workshops require a minimum of three participants. If a workshop is canceled due to insufficient enrollment, participants will receive a full refund or may transfer to another available date.

We shoot in snow and light rain, since overcast and wet days can make beautiful nature photographs. In heavy rain or extreme heat, we’ll and notify you at least 24 hours in advance. If we need to reschedule and issue a credit.

If you cancel your enrollment, refunds are made as follows:
– More than 3 weeks before the workshop begins: full refund, less a cancellation fee 4% of tuition.
– 1–3 weeks before the workshop: 50% refund
– Less than 1 week before the workshop: non-refundable
– Once the program has begun, tuition is non-refundable, but unused sessions may be credited toward a future workshop.

Workshop credit is available through the following year.
