WHAT IS THE WEATHER LIKE?

A big part of the workshop is to build new relationships! If you would prefer your own room or you are traveling with your spouse please ask for more info regarding getting your own room an additional cost.

WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND BRINGING?

We recommend you pack layers as we will be out around town and the weather can change quickly in the spring. Bring a bikini for a dip in the pool but also bring a warmer jacket for the cold evenings. Feel free to dress casual throughout the workshop days and casual cocktail attire is recommend for the evenings.  

Bring a notebook, pen or laptop to take notes, any marketing materials you have, and a portfolio on a laptop or printed. And of course bring your smile and eager mind!

IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR ALL LEVELS AND BACKGROUNDS?

Yes, while we will definitely have enough material and experiences to inspire a seasoned photographer, this is also a great chance for the aspiring photographer (we recommend you have at least 2 years experience with shooting part or full-time). We will also be giving hands on instruction on shooting film as well for anyone looking to branch into the medium.

FILM OR DIGITAL, DOES IT MATTER?

Absolutely not! You are welcome to shoot any format you desire or why not both? We will have a few extra film cameras as well should you like to try it out. 

DO I NEED TO BRING FILM?

While we will be providing each attendee with 5 rolls of 120 Fuji Pro 400H, it’s recommended to bring extra should you wish to shoot more film. Paris is breathtaking and most people end up shooting a lot!

WHAT TIME WILL WE BEGIN AND CONCLUDE EACH DAY? 

We will start right after breakfast at 9.15 am and end around 6-7 pm. Then we will all go out for dinner together, so it will be full days of learning and inspiration in one of the most romantic cities in the world. 

WILL GROUND TRANSPORTATION BE PROVIDED?
