We’re ready for you.
We want nothing more than for you to show up as yourself in your photography and in your life. We are excited to see what YOU bring to the table, and we’re standing by, ready to help you when you show up for your dreams.
Grow with the Flow
Imagine stepping into gardens so lush and vibrant that you feel as if you are swimming in a sea of flowers. Everywhere you turn, there are waves of color and fragrance. The flowers sway gently in the breeze while delicate blossoms carpet the ground below you. The sheer abundance and diversity of blooms nearly create sensory overload, enveloping you in their beauty. Is this floral paradise, you ask? Yes. Yes, it is!
Welcome to our Flower Power Workshop. Set in the Garden Capital of the USA, we will be taking you to some of the most stunning and diverse gardens in the country. Perfect for seasoned photographers and "budding" enthusiasts alike, spend your days exploring more botanical splendor than you can shake a stick at!
We'll kick things off at the world-famous Longwood Gardens. With over 1,000 acres of formal gardens, lush meadows, and tranquil woodlands, there is no doubt it will be absolute heaven for our macro photographers out there. Next, we'll head to Morris Arboretum & Gardens in Philadelphia, this historic location features the most picturesque landscapes and its serene water features will have you swooning.
The journey continues at Winterthur, a majestic estate surrounded by a 60-acre naturalistic garden that is a beaut! Finally, we'll cap it all off at Mt Cuba Center, which specializes in native plants, meadows, woodlands, and the most picturesque ponds. Here you can immersive yourself in the heart of nature, surrounded by garden grandeur.
If you could use some fresh air and consider yourself either a macro-obsessed or landscape-loving photographer, Flower Power will indeed spoil you rotten!
So come along with us! We promise there will be plenty of time to stop and smell the roses. There is no better workshop to help you bloom where you are planted.

“For most of my life, I was certain that I might be many things, but an artist was absolutely NOT one of those things. Tony helped me find my way to creating art, and in the process, he has helped me see beauty in the world that I never saw before, and would never have seen without his guidance and support. My life is indescribably better and happier for it.”
“A search for a personal art, one that belongs to you and to no one else, is one of the most overwhelming and intricate challenges of life. To be creative. Seems simple. Tony will be your guide, coach, provocateur, and teacher. He will scatter the breadcrumbs you’ve been seeking and then inspire and teach you how to follow them. To your art. And no one else’s.”

The A’s to your Q’s

We typically arrange a block of rooms for our domestic workshops so we can all stay at the same hotel. Often we choose to forego a room block for international workshops because we want you to be able to choose the experience that resonates with you based on your preferences and budget. In workshops with no room block, we will let you know where we will be staying and critiquing so you can select the same hotel or one nearby.
-
Our daily schedule is designed to maximize great light and photographic opportunities. We usually begin with a morning photo session on location, followed by a break for you to have a meal or work on your images. After that, we'll have a critique session, followed by an evening shoot. You'll have time to enjoy a leisurely dinner before getting some rest for the day ahead. Our schedule strikes a balance between keeping you busy and allowing enough downtime to rest your creative muscles.

Tuition covers six days of amazing hand-selected locations (for the utmost in photogenic beauty, of course) and daily critiques. It covers belly laughs, new friendships, top-notch instruction, and help one-on-one with Tony while photographing. And in Italy, one round of gelato.
-
During our workshop, most of your time will be dedicated to on-location photography, critiques, and editing. There won't be much downtime for leisurely activities or relaxation with your partner as you would on a typical vacation.
If your partner is the independent and easygoing type who can entertain themselves throughout the day, purchasing an extra plane ticket for them might be a good idea. They can explore the local area or engage in their own activities while you focus on the workshop.

So we strongly recommend getting travel insurance; it's always better to be safe than sorry. Check out our Terms of Service link below for details and recommendations.

PB is for photographers who want to take amazing photographs, and we take this very seriously. Time spent on students' computer issues undermines the workshop experience for other participants, and we're just not cool with that. Please ensure all of your technology is up to date and in excellent working order before attending.
-
A working laptop (with plenty of storage and a long-lasting battery and charger cable) with the LATEST version of Lightroom, your camera (in tip-top shape), and any lenses you love and that bring you joy, and some extra cards and batteries, and maybe some sunscreen (reef-safe of course!).
