The photographers choice of 1 day photo workshops
I am excited to be able to offer this one day photography workshop once again this year. It is one photography packed day full of beautiful Friesians and Andalusian horses at a lovely small farm in Bellingham WA.
This workshop is open to all levels of photographers.
The goal of this workshop is to learn and grow as photographers. There is no set agenda as each participant will bring a different skill set to the workshop. You will learn from me, your fellow photographers and your own experiences.
Please plan on arriving Friday evening June 30th as we will begin early Saturday morning July 1st and be going all day with coffee breaks and a lunch break. The will not be enough time during this workshop for a formal post processing session but there will be time to discuss various post processing tips, image critiques and the business of photography. If possible I am going to do an indoor set up with lights for a few portraits.
There is plenty of lodging/hotel options in Bellingham to choose from for those wishing to spend the night. I will be happy to give suggestions upon request.
What you need to bring: Camera/cameras, one for back up if possible and lenses. I recommend a 70-200 or 100-400mm and a wide angle, such as the 24-120mm etc., and any prime favorites you may have. A more detailed list will be sent to attendees closer to the date of the workshop. Don't forget plenty of memory cards and extra batteries.
Cost of the workshop is $850. A $425. non-refundable deposit will hold your spot. Deposits can be paid by debit or credit card via PayPal or the credit card bottom using the link below. Taxes and fees will apply. If you prefer to mail a check, please contact me to get my mailing address. The final balance is due 45 days prior to the start date of the workshop.
Terms and Conditions
Tamara Gooch and Tamara Gooch Photography reserves the right to cancel or change a workshop at any time due to lack of required number of participants, or reasons beyond our control that might create unsafe or undesirable travel conditions for the participants.
Itineraries: are intended as examples only. Actual itineraries may vary depending upon weather, horses, models, contract service providers, logistical decisions and forces beyond my control. Participants must be prepared to be flexible; schedules may vary depending on conditions.
Reservations: To reserve your place on any of my workshops you may use the PayPal link at the bottom of each workshop description.(Fees apply). If you prefer to mail a check please contact me for my mailing address. Some workshops fill early so I suggest booking as early as possible.
Grace Period: I offer a 48-hour grace period on new registrations. If you have second thoughts about participating in your workshop within 48 hours of your registration, I will refund your payment, less a $60 processing fee.
Deposits and all monies received: Your non-refundable deposit is required to secure your place on any workshop, with the remaining balance due 45-90 days prior to the start date depending upon the workshop. All monies once received are non-refundable. This is because many arrangements and payments are made prior to the operation of all workshops, regardless of the number of attendees. If you have paid for the workshop in full and you have to cancel at any time, you will not be entitled to a refund. In the rare case I decide to cancel a workshop, I do not and cannot promise refunds, credits, or re-scheduling to another workshop at a later time. Trip insurance is always highly recommended. It is possible that I may decide to issue you a refund, minus any non-refundable deposits and a $65. administrative fee. This decision is entirely at our discretion. Under no circumstances will Tamara Gooch or Tamara Gooch Photography be liable for any costs incurred by a participant in relation to a workshop.
Insurance: I strongly recommend trip cancellation insurance. Life happens, workshops don't fill, snow storms shut down airports, people get sick. Be prepard. In addition to cancellation insurance some may want to consider medical insurance or medical evacuation insurance for international workshops, as some personal medical insurance policies do not cover your expenses while traveling abroad. You can also purchase "Cancel for Any Reason Coverage", which expands the list of reasons for your canceling to an infinite list, from a sudden work or family obligation to a simple change of mind. Do note that many plans require that you purchase your travel insurance within 14 days of signing up for the workshop.
Luggage: Tamara Gooch Photography request that workshop participants limit their luggage to the equivalent of one suitcase, one computer bag, one camera bag and tripod. All personal luggage is the responsibility of the owner so please keep the weight to a limit you can handle and be aware of airline weight limitations.
Responsibility: Tamara Gooch Photography does not assume responsibility for injury, accident, damage, loss, delay or irregularity which may occur via defect of transportation or any other cause. Tamara Gooch Photography reserves the right to substitute hotels, and other previously outlined arrangements if necessary.
Covid-19: Your health and safety is important and I am continuing to monitor the most up to date CDC travel protocols. Anytime we choose to travel, we acknowledge the risk of Covid-19 and each person shall be completely responsible for themselves at all times and will adhere to all measures of safety being implemented by me during a workshop
Payment of tour fees by workshop participants constitutes their acceptance of all conditions contained herein including but not limited to injury, death or other liability incurred during a trip.
