Be Inspired By Inspiring Others

Host a Workshop

Our Innovative Workshop Programs

Designed to help the vibrant and ever-evolving local creative community be inspired and foster growth in their continuous learning experiences, our studio provides access to our versatile space for educators to host a variety of enriching workshops completely free of charge. We offer two options for educators to host workshops in our studio free of charge:

Educator Only Workshop — These are for workshops fully advertised and managed by the educator.
Studio-Sponsored Workshop — These workshops provide the full resources of the studio’s staff, technologies and advertising network. You can find a detailed breakdown of everything included within our studio-sponsored workshops below:

What do you provide?

If you submit a request to host a workshop at our studio and are approved, we will provide the following:

Use of our studio space at no cost.
Ticket management.
Refreshments.
Use of our lighting, props, and client closet.
Swag bags.
Tables and chairs as needed.
Marketing on our website and social media platforms.
Professional video coverage to help in promotion after the event.

What helps me to be approved?

Each educator application is thoroughly and carefully reviewed to ensure quality and alignment with our mission. Some key aspects we are looking for include an active social presence that demonstrates engagement, a desire to teach others, and valuable partnerships that expand collaborative opportunities. A key factor is being approved is the number of participants and how open ticket availability is for other creatives. Our goal in providing our space is to encourage connections and the development of friendships with the creative community, so the more open and available a workshop is to creatives of different backgrounds and skill levels, the more likely it is that your request will be approved.

I’ve never hosted a workshop before. Is that okay?

Absolutely! The goal of our workshops is not only to help our local photography community but to also provide creatives who are at the very beginning stages of what may be a potential educator-focused journey have a platform to start.

What do you need from me?

If approved, we will need a short bio from you, a title for your workshop, and a minimum of three short descriptions of how you would like for us to advertise your workshop. && Of course, your awesome smile and instruction on the day!

Will I be paid?

Absolutely! Workshop hosts are paid proceeds from all ticket sales minus any processing fees paid by the studio.

How is pricing for tickets determined?

We allow educators to set their own price for tickets. We always encourage educators to do some market research with their audience (IG polls are great for this!) to gain feedback on what people would be willing to spend. With all workshops, the more you offer and provide in value, the larger the group of attendees will be.

How does payment work?

If using our studio ticketing system, educators receive all of the proceeds minus studio costs in processing fees from their workshops, paid out via check at the end of the workshop.

Wait, but how do you make any money for workshops?

We don’t! Rather than dumping a ton of money into advertising on IG, we’d rather focus our marketing on things that matter. Workshops create a key network of advertising for us, allowing creatives to not only learn about the studio but also engage and feel more comfortable in using our space.

Can I sell tickets through my own platform?

When we advertise and include a workshop on our studio calendar, we require tickets to be sold through our ticketing platform. This helps ensure that we know how many people will be in attendance, can answer attendees' questions, provide refunds as needed, and consume any associated processing fees. But, please know you can reach out to us at any time to get an update about signups!

What topics are ideal?

Topics related to lighting, advanced editing, software applications, marketing, and effective posing techniques are the topics we see most requested. However, don't be afraid to let your imagination soar and explore beyond conventional boundaries. We always welcome and encourage the latest innovative techniques and valuable information that can elevate artistry and skills!

Is the workshop program exclusively tailored for photographers?

Not at all! Our workshop program is thoughtfully designed to cater to all types of creatives, including photographers, videographers, hair and makeup artists, and models.
