Things To Consider

• Weather in Ireland is unpredictable. We will do our best to avoid photographing in bad weather, but it may be unavoidable. Be prepared to get wet in case it rains. This means clothing as well as protection for your gear (rain covers, bags, etc).

• It is best to have your own car. There will be down time between the shoots if you wish to go and explore. You can also coordinate with others to split a car if you wish to do so. Unfortunately, public transit doesnt really exist in Ireland and the roads to the places we are going are too narrow for tour busses and whatnot, so you will need some transportation. Manual cars are significantly cheaper than automatics. This is also why I took rental cars out of the price as you may be able to do it cheaper or split with someone else to drop the price a bit more. The Facebook group will have more info on options.

• The type of photoshoots we will be doing will depend on the wishes of the attendees. We will have a model traveling with us that will be available for a variety of shoots. We will also be getting agency models in Ireland. The specific shoots will be planned with the attendees in the FB group. We can do senior, wedding, fashion/beauty and boudoir. The plan is to mix them up a bit so its not all one genre, but we will plan it based on what the attendees want.

• We have a few options for meals. We can eat as a group or you are free to do your own thing. There will be structured time for the lecture/talk portion of the workshop. You are there as a tourist as well and I want you to enjoy the things you would like to do, so feel free to do your own thing outside the workshop hours if you desire to do so.

• If you bring a spouse/significant other, they will share a room with you. They are welcome to travel with us and participate in the workshop portion, but they will NOT be allowed to shoot. This allows us to maximize shooting time for each attendee and not have to worry about 20 cameras photographing the same subject. This will not be paparazzi shooting.
  You will have full control to direct your shooting.

• This will be an intense trip. Due to the various locations we will be going to, we will be up pretty early each morning to maximize our time at each location. Nothing crazy like 3am, but we will be leaving the house around 9/10 each morning at the latest and coming back late in the day. There will be quite a bit of time spent in cars traveling to each location (usually 1.5-2hrs each way). This is not the workshop for you if you want to relax. We will be working hard :)

Reserve your spot!
