Workshops

A comprehensive, creative approach to learning architecture photography.

An engaging photography experience

All workshops begin with an online webinar covering compositional tips & more to spark your creativity. On location, you’ll get hands-on guidance while exploring a wide range of world-class locations, from historic to modern, architecture to cityscape.

Following the workshop, you receive a post-processing tutorial describing my process, preparing you with tips to edit your own photos. Our final session together is a critique webinar during which you can share your images, get feedback, and see the other students’ images.
