| Summary |
One of the most popular workshops
in America, the Sports Photography Workshop brings together
a faculty of top international sports photographers and editors.
This workshop provides participants with an opportunity
to
listen to, study with, and network with the very individuals
who are uniquely positioned to help with career development.
Included in the instructional sessions will be lectures on
remote camera installations, large arena lighting, and the
business of freelance sports photography. Many participants 
of this workshop have gone on to shoot for the top sports
magazines in the country. This workshop is best suited for
professional and advanced-amateur photographers who are
self-motivated. Be sure to also check the Daily
Sessions page for a description of a typical day at the
workshop.
As you can see from our tentive schedules, it's a very busy
week and we often try to offer multiple choices of topics
and shooting opportunities to cater to as wide a range of
needs as possible. You will find that some attendees shoot
a lot during the week and others will spend more time in
the workshop classroom attending sessions on a wide range
of technical, creative and business topics. The choice is
up to you.

Details |
With 10-15 instructors and staff onsite,
and attendance that is capped at 60, each student can be
assured a low student-to-instructor ratio and ample personalized
attention. The combined knowledge of the faculty is outstanding
and attendees have a chance to get not one or two opinions
on their work, but a dozen points of view from a cross-section
of the industry that you won't find anywhere else.
Expect ample time for shooting in the field,
one-on-one and group technical instruction, peer review
of
images you shoot during the week, portfolio reviews and career
counseling.
Be sure to also check the Daily
Sessions page for a description of a typical day at the
workshop.
Nikon will have digital cameras to loan on a 24-hour basis
as well as a variety of lenses, with Lexar providing memory
cards for the group. Apple will provide workstations for
attendee use and indepth instruction on their leading photographic
workflow tool, Aperture. Epson will provide printers for
use during the week and we'll cover best practices for getting
the most out of your digital printer. Individual appointments with instructors
for portfolio reviews and career counseling are encouraged.
The week begins with a welcoming reception and ends with
a farewell dinner, courtesy of our sponsors. This workshop
is best suited for professional and advanced-amateur photographers
who are looking to take their photography and careers to
the next level.
We ask that you bring all of the equipment with which you
normally shoot, especially Nikon users, as you will
be able to use the large consignment of Nikon cameras and
lenses in conjunction with your own. Photographers that currently
use other brands of cameras are free to use your own equipment.
We ask that you bring your own laptop if you have one available
to you and please let us know at the time of registration
if you will be bringing a laptop.

You may fly into Colorado Springs (COS)

into Colorado Springs are fully booked, Denver (DEN) is the
next nearest airport (about 90 mins by car). If you fly into
the area, we recommend renting a car for the duration of
the week as transportation is not provided and many of the
best shooting venues are a decent drive from the hotel. |
