2012 Workshops & PhotoTours Schedule

Hurricane River Sunset, Willard Clay Photography

Workshops

Workshops are designed for all photographic skill levels. We put you in the best photographic locations at the best times to provide the best photo opportunities. Workshops include demonstrations and in-the-field instruction. Workshops may also include occassional lectures and critiques, dependant on the focus of the event and facilities at the lodging site. Our Photo Instructors are with you in the field to conduct demonstrations, show techniques, to point out photographic subjects and compositions, and to answer your questions in the field. They stay with the group, proactivley checking with participants, making suggestions and offering advice as they photograph with the group.

Our workshops are not the typical classroom style events where you fall asleep looking at slide lectures. Our workshops may include occassional lecture sessions but for the most part we conduct in-field instruction. This alllows us to demonstrate techniques and skills and explain concepts with actual in the field instruction as issues arrise. This way you can be shown how to do something instead of told how and having to trust your memory for later application.

Workshops may include the cost of lodging in the price or lodging may be reserved for each participant to book on his or her own depending on the event.

Weekend Workshops

Can't get away for a long weekend? Don't want to travel long distances? The our "Shoot & Critique and Shoot and Print Weekend Workshops may just be what you are looking for. Designed for photographers with time restraints or those just looking for a workshop that doesn't involve long travel, these workshops are run in the Chicago metro area, are held on a Saturday/Sunday weekend format, include your lunches and sometimes a breakfast, and do have close-by lodging possiblities for those who want that convenience.

Saturdays usually feature a field session followed by, lectures and/or demos and lunch at Gallery 7 in Joliet, Illinois, at the Will Clay Studio in Ottawa, Illinois or at the Fred Drury studio in Wheaton, Illinois. Sunday, depending on the workshop, may include a mix of field session, lectures, image prep time, lunch, critiques and or print making.. The weekend workshop format offers you a great workshop experience, with only a weekend time committment..
