Can’t find a photography or Photoshop course with a schedule that meets your needs? We will custom tailor a private or group workshop for you either at our studio or a location of your choice.

We teach to all skill levels in a variety of topics from basic camera operation to photography tips and techniques for specific situations. Individual workshops are a great way to refine your photography process and learn the answers to your specific questions. Group workshops are perfect for professional development or lunch-and-learn programs. Handouts are included when applicable.

We recommend a one to a one and one-half hour session to start. It is helpful to know the answers to these questions so that we are prepared to present an efficient workshop with handouts:

    1. What you already know and what you would like to learn?
    2. What do you like to photograph?
    3. What equipment you have (camera, lens, flash – brand and model)?
    4. How much time would you like to devote to this learning experience?

“Everyone here at Erland is impressed with the lessons I learned. They even wrote blog posts about it. Thank you again for your time and for teaching me the tricks of the trade!” Danielle Pikus, Graphics Coordinator Erland Construction
