Photography is more than just working the box, controlling light, seeing, composition and story telling. In this workshop we dive into the elements that bring a snapshot into a work of art with more hands on exercises!

Returning winter 2026:
1976 -A Film Photography Experience
Overview:
Take a trip back in time: the year is 1976 and film photography is in its glory days!
Week 1 of this workshop covers the foundational principles of film photography, from camera operation to exposure theory. Students will gain an understanding of film types, metering, and basic techniques for creating well-exposed images.
The second week focuses on applying the concepts learned in Week 1 during a real-world photoshoot. Students will work with various subjects, incorporating metering, composition, and exposure theory into their photography. We will discuss the process of developing film.
Week 3 introduces darkroom techniques and required equipment for printing your own images. Working under classic darkroom “red light” students will print an 8x10 image of their choice from the shoot and witness the miracle of photography as the image magically appears in the tray.
$160.00 taxes included
Private Training
The Windsor School of Photography regularly holds group training workshops, but 1 on 1 private training is also available. You may have a desire to learn something not currently covered in a group workshop. You may have a special need at your workplace, or require a hand setting up your lighting system, possibly an interest in learning the basics of studio lighting. You may be confused by Photoshop or Lightroom and need a hand getting set up. You may wish to learn how to work their new camera, or are interested in sharpening your exposure skills - shutter speed, aperture, ISO, or just want to meet somewhere and go on a photo walk.

Mastering Flash Workshop
A new full day workshop coming
Autumn 2025
Everyone knows light is one of the most important tools a photographer has to create images that tell a story. The ability to control light and change its direction gives the photographer creative control over the image. Understanding flash basics is critical and can set you apart from the “natural light” philosophy many photographers take. Being a strobist can be your edge. This full day workshop (lunch provided) will explain and simplify complicated flash settings, will explain the flash system, give you tricks and techniques and have you flashing in no time! 7 hour workshop - $275.
