For more than a decade, John Stanmeyer has been educating photographers on how to create, tell and publish compelling, in-depth narrative photo essays through the same mental and creative process as he does stories for National Geographic magazine.

Our industry is always in change, always has been, always will. These workshops help guide you towards finding growth in this ever changing landscape…there has never been more opportunities today to create, publish and yes, make a living in photography. It is just completely different than ten years ago, very different than 5 years past, uniquely different than a year ago and will be astronomically different in 6 months. That is the beauty, the limitless possibilities and what these workshops are all about.
