About My Workshops

I like to make learning fun, which is exactly what do on my photography workshops. We get up early and stay out late to catch the light. We process our images on site and have a group slide show at the end of each workshop. If you are new to my workshops, learn a bit about me in this interview.

On my workshops we grow as photographer and make new friends. We share our images. My students do wonderful work. Here is a link to some of their photographs.

If you have any questions about my workshops, you can always email me. You can also call: 914 271 6132.

If you can't make a workshop, you take a virtual workshop with me on line via one of my Kelby Training classes.

I also give private workshops on location. Shoot me an email for info. I also offer on-line portfolio reviews in my Tough Love sessions.

Important stuff to know.

1)  My workshops are not for beginners. You must know how to use your camera.
2) You must know how to shoot on the Manual Exposure mode.
3)  If you have a PC, please  know where to find stuff. I am a Mac person.  We often, but not always, have PC folks on the  workshops who can help  you, but I use a Mac. My workshops are photography workshops, not  computer workshops.
4) You should have Photomatix  Pro and HDR Efex Pro downloaded on your laptop  before the workshop. You  can get a discount on both programs here.
5) Travel/trip cancellation insurance is recommended, as it is for any trip you would take.
