Workshops and Tours – What’s the Difference?
We feel it important to define what is meant by a workshop and how it is different from a tour as there is a lot of conflicting information out there. So let’s take a look at the characteristics of each so you can select the ones that are right for you, with the best organizer and leader for your needs.
How Do We Define Photography Workshops?
Workshops are generally a few days long (3-7 is common), and are held in one central location. The main focus of a photography workshop is for you to learn something, often on a particular topic or theme such as Street Photography, Camera Settings for Beginners, or Using Lightroom to Make Your Images Pop.
They often involve some or all of the following:
- Aimed at amateur photographers who are a beginner to intermediate (or advanced) in their skillset.
- Some classroom or lesson time.
- Possible practice exercises for you to do on site.
- Different shooting locations (usually nearby, less than an hour drive).
- Image review time so you can get feedback.
- Processing demonstrations and tips.
- Q&A sessions.
- One or more photography instructors (NO tour guides).
- Some may also include one-on-one time with the instructor.
- Usually a small group with sizes ranging from 5-10 people (do your research, you will get more individual help in a smaller group but you will also pay more for such events). We limit our workshops to 8 participants when there is one instructor and 12 if there is two. Some specialized workshops may be less (5-6 max).
- Accommodation may or may not be included. (We include it in our workshops).
- Meals may or may not be included. (We include most meals with ours).
