Many Exciting 5 – Day Photographic Workshops

Niagara School of Imaging gives you the opportunity to glean real life knowledge, tips and ideas from top North American based photographic instructors. By bringing together an environment for learning (Brock University, St. Catharines, ON, Canada), an environment that stimulates creativity (the beautiful Niagara Peninsula), topnotch instructors, and events that unite photographers and industry supporters/suppliers, Niagara School of Imaging is an intensive 5-day program that will make a positive impact on your personal and business skills as well as ignite your creativity.

Richard Bell MPA, APPO, Cr. Photog., is the Executive Director of The Niagara School of Imaging. Rick has over 30 years of experience in successfully organizing both Provincial and National educational events similar to Niagara School of Imaging. Rick believes with the turn of the century and the digital imaging wave upon us, this retreat type of learning event has come of age.

The 5-day hands-on programs will provide a stress free atmosphere where you will forge new friendships, cultivate your visual strengths, and shape strategies for your development as an individual, professional and leader in the photographic industry. The programs are a mixture of lectures, labs, marketing, hands-on demonstrations and sessions. Classes start on Sunday afternoon (August 17, 2008) and finish on Thursday afternoon (August 21, 2008). Students register for one instructor in whose class they will remain for the duration of the school. Classes begin at 8:30 am and continue through the day. Each evening will feature an all-school social activity for sharing the day's experiences and ideas.

Instructors are chosen very carefully. All instructors have met the 6 following criteria:

1. the instructor has a proven track record as a successful business person
   
2. the instructor has received first class evaluations from former registrants
   
3. the instructor has a proven track record of image excellence
   
4. the instructor is active and on the leading edge of current trends and business practices
   
5. the instructor has earned degrees and accolades from the professional associations
   
6. the instructor is dedicated to sharing their experience and knowledge
