Im excited to announce my 1 and ONLY Workshop for this year, and of course it will be in the Heart of Mexico, nestled in between the hills of agave, corn and sugar cane, in a Hacienda built 350 years ago. We rent out the entire Hacienda El Carmen for 1 week, with a private chef, a full spa, horse back riding, pool, and stunning views. This workshop is 4 days of intense hands on learning, shooting, sharing. Get inspired and move to that next level, and surround yourself with amazing light, people, culture and food.

I have an Amazing line up and it’s going to be the best WORKSHOP yet!
