Photo Workshops
Kevin's photography workshops are ideal for bird, nature, and photo festivals. Workshops are identified as INDOOR or OUTDOOR; each can be stand alone presentations or sessions, or they can be combined to create a robust learning experience. They vary in length to accommodate individual situations. Generally indoor workshops last 90 minutes and outdoor workshops last 2 to 4 hours.
