All equipment / backgrounds / models / etc will be furnished. All you need to bring is your camera (required) and laptop (not required). This is NOT one of those "back yard" glamour sessions, this is a real fine art lighting workshop.

Until now the "Premier Workshop Series" programs have been by special invitation only. A few select photographers have been invited and have had the opportunity to work along side many other outstanding photographers of our time. This is such a great learing environment with all this talent in one studio. Each year we have a couple of these advanced workshops, some on studio lighting and some on other studio topics.

If you would like to register now for this workshop simply click the "enroll today" button on this page. Enter your information on the registration form and click submit. You don't need to "pay" on the next page so continue on to a different page. We'll send you an invoice for your registration fee that you can pay by credit card.

Other Workshops and Seminars

Two times each year our online students will be invited to a two day intense photographic workshop in the photographers’ studio in West Tennessee. This workshop is a “hands-on” studio and location workshop where you will be able to sit along with Jeff and watch, learn, and listen while you both shoot. There is no better learning than to be able to sit and chat with someone in a situation like this.

This workshop covers studio lighting, outdoor lighting, light control and a lot of the “tricks of the trade” secrets that will assist you in creating award winning images. One other element that makes this workshop program unique is the quality of the photographers you’ll be involved with for the two day program. Many pro’s from around the country come to these workshops to study with Jeff for this two day photographic forum.
