Our Pledge to You

Thank you for considering participation in one of our 2009 workshops!

We offers workshops that are of extremely high value. Our average student to teacher ratio is one of the lowest in the business. Our instructors are working professional photographers who have an intense passion for sharing and inspiring. We fully recognize the commitment of time, energy and money it takes for you to attend a workshop. So we work very hard to be the best at intimately knowing our locations, providing a wealth of high quality information via excellent presentations and one on one help in the field, presenting extremely supportive and highly detailed image reviews, and doing all of this in an energy rich, supportive environment where inspiration and having fun never take a back seat to anything.

During the workshops, our complete focus is on you, the participant.

Our instructors do not shoot their own work when they are with students during the workshops.

If you see an instructor photographing, they are either shooting images of the participants engaging in the workshop for public relation purposes or shooting something that is to be used for educational purposes during the workshop.

We fully realize that in addition to the education business we are in the inspiration business, the fun vacation business, and ultimately, we are a service business. We are here to serve you. Your complete satisfaction with your workshop experience is our pledge and guarantee. After all the majority of our workshop participants are repeat customers and we know as well as anyone that we only get one chance to make an awesome first impression.
