2012 Workshop Schedule
Learn to See Learn to Think Learn to Create
"With all the valuable information given before the workshop, the locations taken to during the workshop with the ability to change with weather conditions, the useful information given while in the field, and the offer to critique images even after the workshop is over; if there were awards for workshops (like Emmy’s and Oscar’s) yours should be up for nomination as the most complete workshop". ---..................................................... workshop attendee; Ron B, California
2012 JACK GRAHAM PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP SCHEDULE ..Please scroll down for individual workshops
My photography workshops are designed for the nature and outdoor photographer, no matter what level. In 2012 I am entering my 17th year conducting workshops through out the United States. My workshops give you, the photographer more time in the field to work on your photography, while interacting with nature We don't stop and photograph, get back into our cars, and drive to another spot.. then spot after spot. My itineraries are designed taking the weather, light conditions and the best photographic opportunities into consideration.
You can expect to be out at sunrise, unless the weather is prohibited, then continue through sunset, taking advantage of the day's golden hour's.We usually take a rest for lunch, and image review etc., sometime around mid day when the light is harsh and recharge ourselves for the balance of the day. We also take time during our workshop for informal classroom sessions to further critique our images and discuss important photographic topics.
I take every bodies styles, levels and expectations into account and provide my total attention and service to your needs, My goal is that by the end of our workshop you will come away knowing that your photography has moved to a higher level.( along with some great images !)
My groups are small, usually around 7-9 attendees.This makes quick changes in itineraries, and even more important ..lots of personal attention easier.. Larger workshops,(13-15 attendees) such as the Eastern Sierra in October are augmented by noteworthy workshop leaders, such as Guy Tal.
Without exception, I am well versed in the locations and logistics of each workshop location. I do not conduct workshops that i do not know the lay of the land, backwards and forwards. This is important in order to make the best use of our field time and get you to the right place at the right time, to insure successful photographic opportunities that each location provides.
I am a full time photographer, and workshop leader. Along with many established and well known workshop leaders, every month, I see new names of folks that are new to the workshop business advertising in publications. I have been in the workshop business for over 15 years. I have had attendees become close friends. I've even had attendees, meet each other and continue their friendship long after they meet on my workshops. My workshop return customer rate is about 27%. I take great pride in that.
My itineraries are very often copied ( more that you would think!). I also take pride in that knowing that other workshops know a good thing when they see it. Some workshops offer lower prices than I do. My answer to that is quite simple. I do my homework, have vast knowledge of the areas I choose, scout these areas prior to the workshops and use the top guides and assistants when necessary. I provide an exceptional value to my clients. The old adage, "You usually get what you pay for" has never been more truer..
My references ( available on request as well as a few on this Website) are from some of my satisfied customers over the years. Simply put, I am photographer, a workshop leader that loves to teach, and watch my attendees, and friends develop their photographic skills. When I review images with past workshop attendees over the years, long after our workshop experience, it really makes me feel good to know I helped.
Additionally, I am trained and current in Wilderness First Aid (WFA) by the American Red Cross.
Please consider joining us on a workshop.I guarantee, you' will NOT be disappointed..... and feel the marvel, the miracle and wonder of it all.in nature..
