Photo Workshops

     Over the last several years I have had the opportunity to teach photography to students. I have a couple of local workshops I do in Wichita that are basic photography classes, but I also teach a publications workshop to schools. It is a great way for the students to get an idea of what they might face shooting for the their yearbooks and newspapers during the school year. Whether it is a workshop for shooting a particular sport or just a "get the year started right" kind of thing, it helps teachers make sure that the photographers know what to look for, how to shoot and deliver a quality story-telling photograph to their editors.
     Various journalism workshops are offered all over the country and are certainly worth going to, but time and money can prohibit a student or school from attending those kind of camps. I am finding that it is just easier to come to the school and do the workshop there. The students are comfortable and are in the environment that they will be shooting in, their school.
     The workshops will cover everything from sports, portraits, shooting in the classroom and school events, caption writing and some basic photo editing skills. We move fast and have a lot of fun in these camps.
     The workshops are designed and tailored to each school. The cost is a set cost and not a per student cost and is figured on a per school basis, what they need, time, travel, etc. Some schools join together and have me out to save money, this is great as students get a chance to meet others who face the same problems that they are facing with their school publication photography. The most popular camps are the August and September.  Two of those weeks in September are already booked, but there are plenty of dates open. Those months are popular, but I do these camps during most of the school year too.
     I would love to hear from you and chat about your needs. My workshops work, my kids know how and when to make a good photograph after they attend one of my workshops. Please call, 316-706-8529, Jeff.
