About the workshop
So what is the Fstoppers Workshops? This year between May 13-17 we will have 10 of the top educational photographers each teaching two, 2-day workshops. The courses being taught include all sorts of genres including Fashion, Beauty, Headshots, Weddings, Architecture and Interiors, Swimwear, Commercial and Advertising, and everything in-between. Each class is very small with only 10-20 students which makes this experience not only super hands on but also extremely personal. You can check out all the instructors and classes being taught on the Workshop Class Page.
What makes the Fstoppers Workshops so unique from other workshops is it is held at the amazing Atlantis Resort. Atlantis is home to one of the largest water parks in the world, several amazing 5 star restaurants, mulitple bars and night clubs, dolphin and water excursions, and a huge casino. Since every student is staying in this one resort, this workshop makes it super easy to not only make new friends but also makes for a great learning environment where students and teachers can hangout after each class has wrapped up for the day. So no matter if you are looking to build a vacation with your significant other, family, or friends, this workshop is the perfect mix of work and pleasure. Check out some of the fun stuff Lee and I did at Atlantis during our down time in the video below.
Last year's event was an amazing experience, and it has been unbelievable seeing how these courses have affected the photographers who have attended. If you have any questions about the 2015 Fstoppers Workshops in general, head over to our FAQ Page on the Workshop Page or check out the FAQ video Lee and I created below. Good luck to everyone and hopefully we will see you down in paradise!
We just posted the announcement on the front of the site
Since beginning my wedding photography career Lee Morris, Patrick Hall, and Pye Jirsa have had a huge impact on my skill level and education. From the "How To Become A Professional Commercial Wedding Photographer " to SLR Lounge's Natural Light Couples Photography dvd. These products along with the sites were so much help in an industry where this kind of education doesn't come around too often. I would love nothing more to learn face to face with you guys and take one of Pye & Justin's wedding clases.
Ide love to go to this workshop and learn from Aaron Nace and Peter Hurley as these two are my heros in photography and art, ive learned a lot from them and would be a dream for me to go, i would attend if I only had the money,,,,
lots of great information here... always learning
