So how does this all work?
(Just the FAQs Please)
Why should we go with you?
(Three good reasons!)
1. With more combined years of combined knowledge than we'd ever care to admit, Iris and iNk have racked up the experience points, traveled far and wide, and created photographs in just about every scenario that we've been able to dream up.
2. We recognize that no two photographers are alike in style or need, and fully customize every one of our workshops to your specific desire to learn. Start making your list, we'll start checking boxes. We want you to come away from our workshops feeling refreshed, inspired.
3. Photography is a competitive profession and we've successfully made it our own for a long time.
We want you to stand apart from your competition, able to both top your market and maintain your own style.
We'll take you behind the scenes to show you how to promote your studio, build your client base, forge your way in the world of photoshop, and be larger than life. We want your portfolio to make your clients pause, and then hand you a pile of little green rectangles
Who can go?
Most of the folks who ask this are wondering one thing, "I'm not a photographer, but I'd love to come along and have family portraits taken while we explore." By all means, come and enjoy the journey - and along the way we'll create some gorgeous images for you to remember forever. We have folks who come along every year just to have their family portraits taken in gorgeous locations. In this case, the session fee does not apply to you as you're coming along to be photographed, not to absorb our vast knowledge on the topic. We simply have you place your minimum order of $1000 prior to departure, and then when you come home, you have a thousand green rectangles worth of credit waiting to put toward gorgeous photographs.
Do I need to be a professional photographer?
Not just no, but heck no. Listen, we all started somewhere, and not everyone even wants to be considered a professional. What we care about is the joy and art that lies within photography and your eagerness to both share what you've learned, and to launch into new things.
What am I responsible for?
Well, you'll have to bring yourself to our first meeting place and get yourself home (that is, if you want to leave), feed yourself without spilling too much, find a place to lay your head at night, and be a good citizen of the world. (We'll offer lodging suggestions, but we want everyone to feel free to choose where they'd like to stay along the way.) Depending upon the trip, on site transportation will usually be provided in the form of a giant van - though everyone should feel free to rent a vehicle if they'd like to caravan along and explore at will in the off hours. The dates that we have listed are departure and arrival dates with our workshop dates held each day in between - though everyone is encouraged to stay as long as they wish both before and after those official dates.
How many people have to book before you'll confirm a workshop?
This all depends upon the trip.
We like to keep our numbers low so that we can concentrate upon everyone who participates.
Generally, we like between six and a dozen folks to come adventure with us!
(This being said, we'll also create custom workshops for just your studio.)
All of our dates are approximate until confirmed and indicate
actual workshop dates on location. (In other words, travel to and from the location
generally comes before and after these dates to make it fun and flexible for everyone.)
Hey DJ, do you take requests?
Sure do. Where do you want to go hone your craft?
We're an adventurous sort of crew... we're game.
Okay, I'm in... how do I book a spot in a workshop?
Just give us a call or send an email and we'll get you on the roster.
