One of the most popular workshops

Included in the instructional sessions will be lectures on
remote camera installations, large arena lighting, and the
business of freelance sports photography. Many participants
of this workshop have gone on to shoot for the top sports
magazines in the country. This workshop is best suited for
professional and advanced-amateur photographers who are
self-motivated. Be sure to also check the Daily
Sessions page for a description of a typical day at the
workshop.
As you can see from our tentive schedules, it's a very busy
week and we often try to offer multiple choices of topics
and shooting opportunities to cater to as wide a range of
needs as possible. You will find that some attendees shoot
a lot during the week and others will spend more time in
the workshop classroom attending sessions on a wide range
of technical, creative and business topics. The choice is
up to you.

With 10-15 instructors and staff onsite,
and attendanceof roughly 60, each student can be
assured a low student-to-instructor ratio and ample personalized
attention. The combined knowledge of the faculty is outstanding
and attendees have a chance to get not one or two opinions
on their work, but a dozen points of view from a cross-section
of the industry that you won't find anywhere else.

of
images you shoot during the week, portfolio reviews and career
counseling.

Nikon will have digital cameras to loan on a 24-hour basis
as well as a variety of lenses, with SanDisk providing memory
cards for the group. Apple will provide indepth instruction
on their leading photographic workflow tool, Aperture. We'll
have desktop digital printers for
use during the week and we'll cover best practices for getting
the most out of your digital printer. Individual appointments
with instructors for portfolio reviews and career counseling
are encouraged. The week begins with a welcoming reception
and ends with a farewell dinner, courtesy of our sponsors.
This workshop is best suited for professional and advanced-amateur
photographers who are looking to take their photography and
careers to the next level.
The manufacturers room with a wide variety of gear for
demo and sale at special discount.
We ask that you bring all of the equipment with which you
normally shoot, especially Nikon users, as you will
be able to use the large consignment of Nikon cameras and
lenses in conjunction with your own. Photographers that currently
use other brands of cameras are free to use your own equipment.
You'll need to provide your own laptop or other
workstation to download and edit your images, though we can
assist you with a variety of demo software available.
We have not yet updated packets for 2012, but please view
the posted packets for 2011, as the general structure
and many details and topics will be very similar to ther
previous year's program, so you'll still get a very good
feel for what to expect. Some
portions will not be updated until just a few weeks prior
to the workshop as we finalize final faculty travel schedules
and available events to photograph. Please call 1-800-745-3211
with further questions, one of our associates would be
happy to describe the workshop at length. We will continue
to post updated information concerning the workshop. |

best shooting venues are a decent drive from the hotel. |
