Host a Workshop
Options for Hosting a Workshop in The Studio
Education is at the core of what we do! For workshops, we know it can sound a little daunting, especially if you’ve never hosted a workshop before, but we believe every voice needs to be heard and sharing knowledge makes us all stronger together! With workshops, we offer hosts two options:
Rent Our Studio to Host a Workshop. This is purely just renting our space to host your own workshop. You can do this at any time by clicking here.
Host a Workshop Through Our Innovative Workshop Program. This unique option is designed to assist educators by providing studio resources free of charge and is perfect for creatives who are confident that at least five tickets will sell through their own promotion.
The Details of Our Innovative Workshop Program
Designed to help the vibrant and ever-evolving local creative community be inspired and foster growth in their continuous learning experiences, our studio provides access to our versatile space for educators to host a variety of enriching workshops completely free of charge while ensuring you are compensated for your time.
What specific qualities are you looking for in an exceptional educator?
An ideal workshop educator is not only someone who is passionate about their craft but also genuinely loves teaching and inspiring others. Since our workshops thrive on participant engagement and interaction, being someone who possesses a substantial social media following and enjoys a high level of engagement can be crucial for the overall success of your workshop.
What do you provide?
If you submit a request to host a workshop at our studio and are approved, we will provide the following:
Use of our studio space at no cost for up to three hours.
Ticket management.
Refreshments.
Use of our lighting, props, and client closet.
Swag bags.
Tables and chairs as needed.
Marketing on our website and social media platforms.
Some professional video coverage to help in promotion after the event.
What helps me to be approved?
Each educator application is thoroughly and carefully reviewed to ensure quality and alignment with our mission. Some key aspects we are looking for include an active social presence that demonstrates engagement, a desire to teach others, and valuable partnerships that expand collaborative opportunities. We also take into consideration other workshops being hosted around the same time, so having a topic that is very different from others currently on our schedule is also helpful, too. While having any of these attributes is certainly not a requirement, it genuinely helps to have as many qualifications as possible.
I’ve never hosted a workshop before. Is that okay?
Absolutely! The goal of our workshops is not only to help our local photography community but to also provide creatives who are at the very beginning stages of what may be a potential educator-focused journey have a platform to start. Our workshops for hosts are low-pressure with just a maximum of 15 attendees. It is 100% okay to miss a few words, be nervous, or lose your train of thought sometimes. No one here is judging you!!
What do you need from me?
If approved, we will just need a short bio from you, a title for your workshop, and a minimum of three short descriptions of how you would like for us to advertise your workshop. && Of course, your awesome smile and instruction on the day!
Will I be paid?
Absolutely! Workshop hosts are paid proceeds from all ticket sales minus any processing fees paid by the studio.
How is pricing for tickets determined?
We allow educators to set their own price for tickets. We always encourage educators to do some market research with their audience (IG polls are great for this!) to gain feedback on what people would be willing to spend. With all workshops, the more you offer and provide in value, the larger the group of attendees will be.
How does payment work?
Educators receive all of the proceeds minus studio costs in processing fees from their workshops, paid out via check at the end of the workshop.
Wait, but how do you make any money for workshops?
We don’t! Rather than dumping a ton of money into advertising on IG, we’d rather focus our marketing on things that matter. Workshops create a key network of advertising for us, allowing creatives to not only learn about the studio but also engage and feel more comfortable in using the studio.
Can I sell tickets through my own platform?
When we offer our studio free of charge for hosting a workshop, we require that tickets be sold through our ticketing platform. This helps ensure that we know how many people will be in attendance, can answer attendees' questions, provide refunds as needed, and consume any associated processing fees. But, please know you can reach out to us at any time to get an update about signups!
What topics are ideal?
Topics related to lighting, advanced editing, software applications, marketing, and effective posing techniques are the topics we see most requested. However, don't be afraid to let your imagination soar and explore beyond conventional boundaries. We always welcome and encourage the latest innovative techniques and valuable information that can elevate artistry and skills!
Is the workshop program exclusively tailored for photographers?
Not at all! Our comprehensive workshop program is thoughtfully designed to cater to all types of creatives, including photographers, videographers, hair and makeup artists, as well as models.
