Photobooks is perhaps the best seminar that I have ever taken, no hyperbole. I am so impressed by wonderful combination of concept, support, engineering, presentations and wealth of information. I'm in the last stages of assembling a photobook, and the seminar could not be more valuable.

An amazing workshop with a talented group of very knowledgeable presenters. So many ideas! Thank you, thank you! It was truly great.

AMB., The Photobook: An Overview of Traditional Publishing, Limited Editions & the Artist's Book, 2022.

I have been making photo art books for more than ten years. This symposium has shown me possibilities and resources I didn't know existed. I am excited to start a new chapter.

If next year's workshop is only half as good as this years, it's still worth every penny.

Elinor created a fun, safe, and supportive place for the class to share and explore our work on womanhood. What a great opportunity to get feedback and inspiration for photo projects and to meet a community of fellow photographers.

This is THE class for everything you need to know -- plus the stuff you don't even know you need to know -- about creating a successful photography 'business'. Whether you need help with a strategy for social media or need guidance on researching gallerists and their suitability for your work, this class covers it all. With expertise! Highly recommended. I'm still pretty new to fine art photography. As a result of this class, and in particular MVS generous and rigorous instruction, I got brave and signed up for a portfolio review. I ended up having one of my reviewers ask me for two photographs for her magazine!

For 30 years Swanee (Mary Virginia Swanson) has helped me better understand the current thinking and practices of the fine photography community. She always keeps up with the changes so I keep coming back for more, gratefully.

John Paul Caponigro, Finding Your Audience, An Introduction to Marketing Your Photographs, 2022.

There is no other career development centered on fine art photography that is so densely packed with practical real-world tips, suggestions and examples. But I think the most important piece was being part of a nurturing community

Steve G., Finding Your Audience, An Introduction to Marketing Your Photographs, 2022

La Luz was a well organized and informative course where Selma and Taylor were always available to answer questions. Swanee shared her many resources in the photography market which inspired me to move forward professionally, and she showed me how meaningful it is for a photographer to convey their personal stories with their images.

LO, Finding Your Audience, An Introduction to Marketing Your Photographs, 2022

Beyond anything I had ever done! I loved how organized it was. It helped so much in my ability to take in all the information. The structure was fantastic, especially how the core lectures prepared us for the study seminars!

Former Student, Finding Your Audience, An Introduction to Marketing Your Photographs, 2022.

Swanee is the most well rounded, well prepared and passionate educator in the fine art photography space. Her content is up to date and her network of presenters is world class.

RK, Finding Your Audience, An Introduction to Marketing Your Photographs, 2022

This is the best seminar I have ever taken, all the topics covered with valuable information about how succeed in an Art Industry full of challenges and in continuous transformation.

LP, Finding Your Audience, An Introduction to Marketing Your Photographs, 2022

Mary Virginia Swanson always inspiring and the La Luz team provided a great platform to explore many aspects of the photography market. I would happily sign up for more s eminars from this team!.

Walt T., Finding Your Audience, An Introduction to Marketing Your Photographs, 2022
