    The workshops are designed for all levels of experience. From the novice with thoughts of exploring large format photography, to the large format owner who wants to more deeply explore the capabilities of his or her equipment and materials.

Personal Coaching

Does your black and white printing need a tune-up? Do you still feel a little uncomfortable with large format equipment and materials? Have you always wanted to learn the Zone System in depth? Do you want help with composition?

 Do you just want a guided tour of some of the lovelier places to photograph in New England? 

I'll work with you to design a program that uses teaches what you wish. Personalized, one-on-one coaching can be arranged for as little as one day, or as long as we agree it might take to accomplish what you want. 

I can help you design a program to meet your individual needs for increasing your comfort and confidence with photography. For most topics, you won't need more than a day or two with us. Expect to work hard, and expect to have a long day.

Personal Coaching costs $300 per day, plus expenses. Lodging is available nearby. Or, we can come to you (perhaps most useful for darkroom tune-ups), for the same daily rate plus travel and living expenses.

Personal Coaching is also available for small groups rates available
