Many of us aspire to be creative in one form or the other, but we carry within us hindrances to either doing our work or moving it out into the world (commonly called “marketing”) -- or both. We think we are not good enough, our work is not good enough, we lack enough talent or imagination or commitment, we can’t trust the future, we need more ambition and drive, and on and on. We cannot get beyond our fears and start doing our artistic work full-out and then putting our work out there for other …

This group was inspired by the hundreds of workshops I have given all over the US. Photographers were asking for ways to build their portfolios with high quality images and unique concepts. They were running out of ideas / did not have ideas, could not find models, locations or sets and were hitting a wall. After all a photography web-site filled with photos of your dog or your own children might not say "professional" in a way you want it to. This is what we will do here. The instructors will a …
