CT Photo Workshops

http://tunxis.commnet.edu/ctphoto/

Mission statement: CT Media/Photography Institute (CTPhoto Workshops) is committed to supporting the perpetual desire of human beings to record their perception of reality as an image of edge defining, reflective light. Although technologies will continue to rapidly change, learning “how to see light” will always remain a constant.

I’m David Archambault, the Program Manager of the CT Media/Photography Institute Workshops (CT Photo Workshops) and I want to give you a little background information as to what we are and why we are here in Connecticut.

I have been a professional studio photographer for over 35 years with studios in New York City, Boston, San Francisco, and Hartford. About 7 years ago I began teaching photography and found many of my top students wanted to go on for more intensive training. After conducting a search of various workshops I found that CT, MA, RI, NJ and even New York City did not offer workshops with the depth of courses and instructors I found in Maine and Santa Fe. And so, I began to plan to develop one here in CT.

I am happy to report that our CT Workshop will host 25 of the top photographer/Master teachers in the country here in Connecticut.

We are located here in CT because:

• We are close to everything!
• Most students will probably be able to drive to the Workshops & save on airfare & lost travel time.
• Many of our teachers are photography professional/teachers are from Boston, Providence, and New York.
• The CT Photography Workshops break the mould and are purposely not located in what I term “vacation destination location”. We are in the middle of the mainstream of action in the photography industry.
• We are committed to developing a reputation of being the premier photography Workshops in the country that stays on the cutting edge of the industry.
• Close to two major cities, Boston and New York giving our teachers the ability to take their students to shoot in these cities if they want.
• There are over 175 locations ½ -1 hour from the Workshop campus to shoot at.
• Break and lunch are included in the price of the Workshop course.
• 3 Brand new studios spaces, the most up-to-day MacPro computers, screens, Epson large format printers, scanners, digital projection equipment, etc.
• Studio visits as part of the workshop course such as The “I Spy” book series photographer and writer. And others in Boson and New York.

Please re-visit the website for more information and the expanded listing of teachers and course. If you have any questions about the courses, where you might fit in, your level of experience or who might be the best choice of instructor, give me a call and I will be more than happy to give you one-on-one time to discuss these matters.

Take care, David Archambault
