Mystique sponsors many educational opportunities for new and experienced photographer and videographers.
| Types of Workshops | |
Private / Semi Private –These are custom designed workshops that generally last two days. I’ll speak with you at length to determine where you are in your development as a photographer and what it is you want to work on and achieve from the workshop. I then customize the workshop to you exactly, including choice of models, location, sets. Based on feedback, for attendees this is the ultimate learning experience. I’m happy to match up people for these workshops. |

The Mentor Workshop Series –Is designed to address the weaknesses of traditional workshops, where you hear lots of information – some good and some great – but never actually apply that information or incorporate it into your photography, so in the end, you’ve picked up a few pointers, but little else. This is completely different…you will take the information and put it into action during the event, having the chance to ask questions right then – and it does not end there! Over the course of the next month, you will use the techniques on your own by following-up with individual assignments, driving home the skills you’ve acquired.The Workshop Mentor Series also provides the needed accountability that is missing in other, more traditional workshops, because you send in your results to Mark for critique and discussion, and receive the needed feedback from your successes and your failures. We will approach the work from the position you choose: working pro, published artist, boudoir photographer – you choose the lens. |

Group Workshop –The size of these workshops are limited to ten people. Generally they are two days in length. It is a hands-on workshop where you will be shooting and creating images. It is a combination of lecture presentation and demo shoots. This is great learning for those who do well in a group environment. |

Shooting Group Workshop –The size of these workshops are limited to ten people. Generally they are one day in length. It is a hands-on workshop where you will be shooting and creating images. The main thrust of the workshop is to allow you the max amount of shooting time with me there to guide you and to answer questions you may have. There are no lectures or presentations during this workshop. Excellent place to get in some great shooting and expand your portfolio along the way. |

Production and Workshop Retreats –These are customized events generally 3 to 5 days. The size is limited to 4 people generally but can be expanded up to 6. The curriculium is completly customized to the attendees needs and desires. These often times look and fee like a real production shoot and the images come with full commerical releases. Quite often held in exotic locations. |
