Color, Inc. ATX workshop

Color, Inc. ATX workshop

So one of my goals for next year is to attend another photo workshop. In the past, I’ve gone to the Maine Photographic Workshops (where I shot film, ate a LOT of lobster and focused on fine art photography), the Santa Fe workshops (shot film, ate a lot of green chili and focused on landscape photography), Click Away (shot digital, ate a lot of Tex-Mex and focused on family photography) and some smaller ones locally with Color, Inc. (shot digital, ate a lot of cookies and focused on family photography).

For next year, I’d like to try someplace new. Since I was doing the research for myself, I thought I would share what’s on my list of possibilities.

Questions I’m asking myself as I try and decide which one to attend:

  1. What do I want to get out of this experience? (portfolio building, connecting with other photographers, being inspired, etc.)
  2. How much does it cost?
  3. Who do I really want to learn from?
  4. Will this help with my business, my creative side or both?
  5. Where is it located?
  6. Does the timing fit in with my shooting season?
  7. What’s the lodging like (does everyone need to share a room)?

If you have any other workshop recommendations (or feedback if you’ve attended one listed above), please leave a comment.
