So I am planning on several photography workshops in different cities around the country, here are the initial cities I am considering for 2-3 day workshops:
– Los Angeles & San Fransisco, California
– Mesa, Arizona
– Dallas, Texas
– Miami, Florida
– New York, New York
– Maui, Hawaii
– Nashville, Tennessee
– Provo, Utah
– Las Vegas, Nevada
Potential Lessons include:
– Speedlite Flash
– Advanced Digital Photography School
– Wedding Photography Crash Course
– Business Strategy & Marketing
– Portrait Lighting
– Macro Lighting
– Street Shooting / Engagement Sessions
– Natural Lighting Tips and Tricks
– Night Photography
– Photoshop Lessons
– Workflow- Storage and Optimization
and much more!
This is the deal, if we can get 3 or more photographers in one area to attend a workshop, Im willing to put at least a One-Day Workshop in your area (price would be very reasonable), and you will even get to select which lessons you want, but I will need a little help from you in organizing it, which is going to be a win-win for everyone. By me coming to you, this lowers your traveling expenses, and hopefully makes it more affordable for everyone.
If you are a photographer and are interested in a one-on-one training session, you can either email me directly, or sign-up when I make the announcement (shortly). Half Day and Full Day sessions are available, and there will be another option if you would like to accompany you as a consultant to shoot second with you at a wedding, every time I have done this, it has been a very positive experience for both shooters.
Regardless of whether we do a workshop in your area or not, I plan to be traveling through your state, and would like to give away a free shoot to either you or your family which will be featured in a picture coffee book project yet to be disclosed. There will be a contest to enter to win, but Id like to give away at least one in each state. I would also like to give away 2 or 3 free complete wedding packages.
Im just trying to have one of the best summers of my life, hit all 50 states, meet and make a lot of friends, and help you get better at what you want to do photography wise. If there is enough interest in ANY state, I will make it happen, if there isnt as much, maybe we will just do one or two in bigger cities and Ill meet you there.
If you have any comments, suggestions, ideas, encouragements, please leave them below. If you are interested in attending ANY type of workshop, please enter your name and location with your comments.
I’m in Akron, Ohio. Would love to have a family shoot and meet you. I have 3 smiling kids! I learn a tremendous amount of info from this blog and would be interested in a workshop. I’m just an amateur….I only do photography for my family….but love to learn. I’ll be watching for updates.

What a great idea, Michael!!! I’d attend any class you decide in Tn. We have a spare room you’re welcome to stay in, and a lovely model to practice on..in Jackson, Tn. which is 200 mi from Nasville and 80 mi from Memphis.
Great idea Michael. Our family is in Iowa (located right at the 2 major interstates that pass through our state. We’d LOVE a family shoot. We have three kids and both my wife and I enjoy taking pictures but have much to learn. Love your blog!
Michael….I hope you come to CT but if you get up to New Hampshire I AM THERE and I definitely know of two other photographers up there who would LOVE to be part of this!
Mike I’d love to do a family shoot also here in Missouri but my sister’s wedding in Seattle this summer would be great also! Happy traveling!
Hey Michael! WOW!! That is awesome! I am in Pennsylvania, but I can drive into NYC (about 1 1/2 hour drive for me) for your workshop. I would be honored to attend one of your workshops. Hopefully you can make it out to NY or PA!
Michael, if you were to add Minnesota to your list I could get enough people to attend your workshop and would be happy to organize it!
This will be a summer to remember. Yesterday at work were speaking about how different each state is and how the people are unique in their own way in each state as well. I brought up that you will be going to each state this year and the people I work wth all thought that sounded like such a fun and exciting thing to do. It is funny how people in Europe travel all over, but so many of us have not seen all of the United States. Good for you! You are going to have so much fun.
Hey M, I see you have Miami up there that be great if you come there as I know people down there would love to attend a workshop with you! Cant wait to see what you finally decide on

Well I guess I’m the first one to shout out from the west coast. I am in Fresno Ca. But would probably travel anywhere in the state to get to a workshop with you!
I would be up for attending anything that was in my neck of the woods . . . Charleston, SC. I would LOVE a family shoot. We’ll be in Utah for most of August though so hopefully I can make something work.
ha…I couldn’t help but think that you are like a band going on tour for the summer…do you have a manager? 🙂
I think you should come to canada
Canada might happen…:)
no manager yet Elizabeth…are you volunteering? lol
I live about 60 miles from Nashville, I really wish I could attend the 3 day workshop, but I start school next week with the Art Institute of TN-Nashville, so I’m pretty sure that I could not get the 3 days off to attend. Maybe you will have another event near me in the future.
I live in Southern CA, and would love to attend! I could help.
WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOU IN FLORIDA!!
COME TO DALLAS TEXAS FOR SURE!! love your work Michael!
