Host a Workshop
The Details
Designed to help the local photography community be inspired and grow in learning, our studio provides the use of our space for educators to host workshops free of charge, all while ensuring educator hosts are compensated. The only requirement? Set an engagement fee amount you are confident that at least five tickets will sell. We’ll cover the rest, even if your engagement fee isn’t covered by ticket sales.
Who is perfect for hosting a workshop?
Do you love photography and teaching others? Becoming a speaker for a workshop in our studio may be an ideal opportunity to make a meaningful impact!
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 for up to three hours.
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.
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. While having any of these attributes is certainly not a requirement, it genuinely helps to have as many qualifications as possible.
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. Our workshops for hosts are low-pressure with just a maximum of 15 attendees. It is 100% okay to miss a few words, be nervous, or lose your train of thought sometimes. No one is judging you!!
What do you need from me?
If approved, we will just 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 provided an engagement fee, ensuring they can focus on delivering high-quality instruction without any financial burden.
How is pricing for tickets determined?
We price tickets based on the expectation of 10 attendees. This price comes from your engagement fee divided by 10. (Tickets sales are normally between $15 to $50.) As part of our ongoing commitment to bring more activities to our local photography community, if not enough tickets are sold to cover your engagement fee, we will cover the difference to ensure hosts are compensated. If more tickets are sold over your engagement fee (at a maximum of 15), we retain these funds to help cover the costs incurred and for use toward future workshops.
What happens if I don’t have at least five tickets sold?
If five tickets tickets haven’t been sold by three weeks before, we will contact you with options (most often rescheduling.)
Can I sell tickets through my own platforms?
When we offer our studio free of charge for hosting a workshop, we do require for 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!
