Describing the workshops
jason teaches educational photography workshops in a both small and large group settings both indoors and outdoors, so dependent on location and time of year, bring a jacket and clothes to stay warm if necessary.

Photo walk - a photo walk is a like a mini workshop. it is a short 2 hour event where jason teaches 10-15 photographers brief aspects on lighting and posing. Dress for photowalks are typically a dress and heels, or some sort of fashion outfit. Please have a jacket because again these are typically held outside in the early evening.
