Donnell Proust Says: Go Where the Pros Go

Week after week, participants come to do workshops with us in Santa Fe. And week after week, we feel their enthusiasm, and share in their breakdowns and breakthroughs. They leave here energized about their passion and their art; some will say their week with Santa Fe Workshops changed their life and their photography forever. Many come back a second, third, tenth time.

And sometimes, sometimes, one of our participants takes the time to pen an expression of their experience. Donnell Probst has done just that. Thank you, Donnell, for choosing us and for your kind words. We are as passionate about our workshops and our participants experience with us as we are about photography. And we are ever grateful when others share in that passion.

An excerpt from Donnell's post:

"If you have been in the photography industry for any length of time, you know there are an excessive number of photography-related workshops available to the general public. This fact begs the question – which ones are worth your hard earned dollar and likely very limited 'free time'?

My quick answer: go where the pros go. Because quite frankly, the big name professionals are less likely to associate themselves with frivolous, lackluster workshops, and (the obvious reason) they’ve got the knowledge and experience you want.

… the Workshops offer everything from lighting, landscape, and fine art classes to digital workflow and business workshops ... If fabulous class offerings and fully equipped studio spaces and facilities are not enough for you, consider that internationally renowned photographers such as Joe McNally, Jay Maisel, Bobbi Lane, Peter Yang, Karen Kuehn, David Michael Kennedy, and Andrew Eccles call the Santa Fe Workshops home for a week or two each year, welcoming hundreds of photography students ranging in experience level from beginner to hobbyist, and even the seasoned pro."
