Design and Creativity in Photography

This course is really more of an online workshop. It’s for you if any or all of the following apply:

• You’re comfortable with your gear and you want to be pushed further.
• You like your images, but you know there’s something more that can happen with your photographs.
• You feel “stuck” creatively and need that kick in the pants to get moving again.

The live sessions will happen via Zoom video conferencing. 

Initially, I plan to schedule these for Sunday evenings. In particular, 4:00 p.m. Pacific time.

However, if we need a different time, or a different day even, to suit the needs of the group I can make adjustments. I am unable to schedule these on either Fridays or Saturdays. 

If more than 10 people join the program I’ll split the group into two sections to make it more manageable. 

Yes, I have a facebook group that you’ll be able to join that is exclusively for course takers. The group is already made up of some who are enrolled in my Master Photo Printing course and past members of The Great Outdoors Photography School which was an online membership that was in operation until August 2023.

You will have lifetime access to the course according to the policy stated on my terms page.

If I end up moving this course to another website your user account will also transfer.

You’ll also have access to the live session recordings.

Currently, there’s about 7 total hours of video training in the program. However, I plan to release four new lessons, one per month, starting January 1, 2024. This will finish off the course.

However, should I decide to make further updates those will simply be added to the course and you’ll be able to view those when they are released. At this time I have no plans to make further updates to the course.

Yes, there’s a few assignments to do and they largely focus on exercising the design principles. 

However, with the live sessions, I will have specific items or topics to discuss and this will involve some other assignment type work as well. 

Doing the assignments is up to you. It provides a method for you to practice and receive specific feedback on the work you do.

Yes. If you are not satisfied with your purchase, you have 7 days from the date of purchase to contact me regarding a refund. I want your investment to be done with confidence. 

The only thing I’ll ask for is feedback regarding how I can make it better. I’m always looking for ways to improve my educational products.

I cannot guarantee that you’ll absolutely love your prints. And the refund window happens LONG before we get to the printing stage. However, I’ll be helping you decide which images to print and how to prepare them. I’m quite confident we’ll have some winners of some prints for you :)

Please be sure to see my terms page before you enroll.

You can print any photo you’d like. Hopefully it’ll be a print that’s new and that shows how you’ve advanced in your photography.

I’ll use the 4th and 5th live sessions to help you prepare your images for printing. I’ll then send them to you and we’ll have a bonus live session in May dedicated to reviewing the prints.

The prints will be made on either Canson Infinity or Breathing Color baryta or other semi-gloss/lustre fine art paper. Each print will be on 13×19 inch paper.

Shipping outside the lower 48 states will incur additional costs. Please inquire about these costs before signing up if you’d like to take advantage of this benefit.

On January 8, 2024, a wait-list form will replace the sign-up form. You’ll be the first to know when this course is open for enrollment. If you want to get on the waitlist now just use the form on this page.
