Santa Fe Workshops | www.sfworkshop.com
The Santa Fe Workshops is a year-round source of experiential learning and creativity for imagemakers. In 2007 Santa Fe Workshops celebrates their 18th year with winter and summer workshops covering a wide range of topics in black-and-white and color photography, as well as year-round digital imaging programs. Each season people travel to magical Santa Fe to engage their imaginations and invigorate their passion for photography.

In the beautiful and serene setting of their campus, the senses are stimulated and creativity flourishes. The camaraderie of sharing the learning process with others is an important component of the workshop experience, as you often gain as much from fellow participants as you learn from instructors. The Workshops encourages participants to create work that truly bears their signature, to make images that flow from their hearts as well as their eyes. To insure a high degree of personal attention, Santa Fe Workshops keeps the size of all workshops small with photography offerings accommodating 12 to 16 participants.
