Practical Learning
Each 2 or 4 hour workshop is dense with practical information on what it takes to create art with impact. I encourage attendees to ask questions, network, share your experiences and create dope art they can be proud of! My workshops are fluid and filled tons of knowledge and how to apply it creatively. Attendees are encouraged to take notes but a summary of what’s discussed is sent out to each person via email. To learn more about future workshops scroll down and check out the calendar.
PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS
Working with big brands like Mountain Dew, Bacardi, Wilson, The NBA, ESPN, Calvin Klein, and many more opened my eyes to the commercial side of photography. The process of finding, working with, and delivering the final product is completely different than for personal projects. This workshop will equip you with the structure and wisdom needed to have success when working with brands of different sizes.
