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.

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

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!

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

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.
