Photography Workshops & Tours
We say these are unique workshops because we offer these workshops to specific age groups from very young to very old, we create fun and exciting situations such as camping tours, youth group workshops, retirement home workshops, and much more. We also take into account the skill levels of the groups. For instance, teens may want to focus on cell phones… they know the cell phone but want to increase their photo skills. Your church may want to add a photo and video staff to document your church and perhaps get photos for backgrounds.
And what about pro level photographers? It has been my experience that no matter what level of professional you are, there is always more to learn and you may just be interested in where we are going. I’ve been a photographer for over 45-years and am still learning. There is nothing more exhilarating than going back to basics while maintaining the knowledge of a working pro.
Finally, if you have a need for a certain kind of workshop, let us know. We will work with you to create the workshop that will achieve your goals.
Church and Organization Groups
Does your church or organization have a group of people interested in photography? Let us help. We offer workshops and tours that not only help the individuals grow, they can support the photo and video needs of your church or ministry. Their photos and videos can be used as backgrounds for your worship time, they can decorate your halls and offices, they can be used on your websites to SHOW what God is doing. And the list goes on… This workshop is designed to take your group through landscape photography to visual storytelling and everything in between. We work through visualization, composition, lighting, and how to use what the camera has to offer. We demonstrate working with digital cameras and cell phones as well as video and audio. We even go through some editing techniques and the software it takes to accomplish all of this. Get in touch and let us know what you and your group are interested in.
Youth Group Photo & Video Workshop
This workshop is designed for Youth Group teens who desire to grow in and refine their photography and video skills. The teens have a unique way of seeing the world and want to express their views through visual sights and sounds that they can share and be proud of. This workshop does just that. We will work with digital cameras with an emphasis on cell phones and how they can create genuine works of art. Subjects include composition, lighting, motion, and editing. We will also cover manual exposure and how to use the camera settings to create the effect they are looking for. We generally accept up to 15 teens at a time and can include multiple youth groups.
Camping Tours
Our camping tours are definitely different. Each tour has us camping in a state or national park where we explore the area and all it has to offer. We understand that not everyone likes to camp, you are free to stay in a local hotel, but we do get together in the evening around a campfire and discuss the days events. Depending on the location and time of year, these camping tours may last from two days to a week. The exact time will be listed on the event page. Your camping gear can be anything from a pup tent to a huge motor home. No matter the amount of luxury, you can be sure these events will thrill you.
Missionary Workshops
No matter if you are a missionary to a foreign country or right down the street from where you are at, photography and video storytelling is an art that will show God at work in people’s lives. We offer photo and video workshops to churches, groups, and organizations of every size. We will focus on creating visual stories through photographic techniques that are used by professional photojournalists who tell of events around the world. Through visualization, composition, lighting, and editing, you will gain the expertise you need to share what is happening with your church and organization as well as share with others who want to know what God is doing.
The Bottom Line
As mentioned above, God is a visual God! We want to help you share what God has put before you; whether that is landscapes, people, animals… no matter what it is… if it’s from God, we want to help you be able to share it in a highly creative and professional manner. It is our goal to get your photographic skills to the level you want to be at.
