After a tremendous amount of planning and 20 awesome hosts volunteering, World Renown Photography Instructor Michael Andrew is putting on a 50 State, 3 Country, 20 workshop tour! (And it will probably be the only time he will do a 50 state tour). Workshops are for all levels of experience, but it is expected you will at least have your own SLR, and at least know most of the skills taught on his camera Crash Course DVDs.
This is a once in a life time opportunity to meet and learn directly from Michael Andrew. Workshop space is limited to about 12 people per workshop and once slots are filled, registration for that area will close, so its on a first come first serve basis.Most workshops are one day events. There will be a wide range of topics but we will be doing at least 2 shoots at every workshop so please bring your camera, tripod and flash if you have them. Early registration is $300 for the entire day. Late registration (less than 1 weeks of workshop date) is $400.
One Day Michael Andrew Photography Workshops Include:
– Full day of Photography instruction taught personally by Michael Andrew, we are looking to start at 9am and end around 9pm.
– Breakfast, Lunch, Question and Answer Dinner with Michael
– 3-4 Classroom lessons on any topic, as selected by the host, ranging from Photoshop, Advanced Digital Photography, Macro, Portrait, Tethered Technique, Business Strategy, Work flow, Marketing, as well as a number of secret topics yet to be disclosed.
– “Photography JUDO” Photo Shoot- Watch Michael as he shows you the tricks of the trade to great images at ANY location.
– “Photoshop Workflow A-Z”
– Flash Photography and Painting with Light – Night Shoot
– Bonus gifts, games and prizes from Michael
If you prefer personal interaction and instruction, this is the event for you!

What other Students have said about Michael’s Teaching:
“Of all the time I have spent learning photography, nothing has compared to learning with Michael in person. There were many aspects I had been struggling to learn for months, he was able to identify and correct my mistakes in mere seconds. He is a phenomenally gifted instructor.” John S.
“Michael’s personal mentoring was the best investment I have made in my photography career” Erin H
“I’ve now seen first-hand what an amazing, inspired teacher Michael is. I learned more in an hour of strolling around a hotel than I have in a multitude of books and classes. Thanks again, Michael.” – Scott R
“For everyone who is interested just know that you will have a blast working with Michael and you will learn SO MUCH! I can honestly say he is one of the best teachers/mentors I have ever known in my entire childhood and adult life.”- Alexandra
“Michael, thanks for such a great opportunity. I learned SO MUCH yesterday. I continue to learn as I think over the day and all that we talked about. For the rest of you, if you ever get the opportunity to join Michael on a shoot, jump on it!” – Casey G
“WOW!! What a weekend!!! It was great to work with you this weekend Michael, and thanks again for the opportunity! I learn’t soo much from you and the wedding we shot, you are truly a master of your craft. Michael, your personality, positive energy and professionalism that day were nothing short of brilliant, especially as we were at a non stop pace. Your attitude and client interaction was phenomenal!!! You are a true photographer my friend, 95% people skills 5% technical skills, with an added 10% for being awesome!!!” – Gary J.

What is a "full day" ? What time do you think the workshops will be starting? Also, I see some workshops are now sold out…how large will the workshops be? How many people are considered "sold out?" Thanks Michael – hope to attend in Fresno
I’d love to attend this event but I am wondering how much of it would be over my head- I just got my first dslr and about the only "formal" training I have is your beginner dvd. Even that, I can’t say I have mastered. Is this for intermediate and above?
Great Questions- As they come in, I will update on the main post itself. The workshops will be from 9am-9pm, food is included. I would say if you have watched one of my camera DVDs you will be ready for the workshop. I tailor the experience to whomever is attending. We are trying to limit the groups to about 12 people per one day event, once we get to that point we close registration.
PS- The Long Island workshop is already about half sold out.
Hey Michael, were in Miami will this workshop be held at?
We have narrowed it down to 2-3 hotels- still deciding. 🙂
I was wondering if I had to worry about the slot avaliaility in the Montgomery Al session, I am really excited to go, but cant make payment until the end of the week!!!
Hi Pam- I think we are half booked for Alabama, still spots open. We would love to have you.
Hey Michael,
Any chance you would be looking to head up to Western Canada to do a workshop? We would love to have you!
How far are you from Seattle? 🙂
Michael – thank you for this wonderful site. I hope you can organize and have your workshop here in Chicago… more power
I will second that Homer. Chicago people are waiting for MA to have class in windy city. Make some noise Chicago for Michael. I work at a hotel so we can work something out for the meeting room and place to crash.
