Santa Fe
Since 1990, more than 19,000 participants and instructors have journeyed to Santa Fe Photographic Workshops to pursue their passion for photography.
Inspired by the rich culture and picturesque high desert of Santa Fe, The Workshops offer state-of-the-art photographic education in a setting that encourages you to devote your full attention to sparking your creativity and expanding your technical skills.
"I would like to thank you all for, once again, a truly remarkable week. I know that from the moment I arrive until the moment I leave my education, comfort, and overall experience is the primary concern of all who are there to assist me. This is why I choose Santa Fe Workshops. In every way I can measure, you all provide the very best workshop experience anywhere on this and neighboring planets. End of story." - Steve Babbit, past workshop participant
"I regard my beginning photography workshop as a life-changing experience. I am deeply indebted to Santa Fe Workshops for instilling in me the artistic vision, inspiration, and motivation that has flourished throughout the years." - Joyce Woollems, past workshop participant
