UNIQUE MIAMI PHOTO WORKSHOPS

Available January 5 - February 15, 2027

If you’re looking for a unique, valuable and personalized photo workshop in South Florida— this photo workshop was built for you. We move at your pace and address your goals.

My name is Sean and I’ll be your instructor, teacher, leader and mentor for this experience. I’ve been a photojournalist for more than 25 years and for the last decade I’ve been freelancing with the New York Times, Getty Images, the Associated Press and many other international legacy media outlets.

These workshops, available Jan. 15-Feb. 28 are for hobbyists and professionals looking to take their photography to the next level. There are no groups. No keeping up or slowing down. Whether you need help operating your camera or sequencing a photo book, you’ll get personal instruction.

WHAT DOES OUR DAY LOOK LIKE?

That depends entirely on you.

Before we ever meet in person, we will have multiple video conferencing sessions and or phone calls, so I can learn about you — and where you want to take your photography. I’ll build your experience from scratch and pitch you a proposal for a workshop.

Everyone is at a different place in their journey with photography. First, I need to identify where you are in that journey and where you want your path to lead.

No two workshops are the same and your workshop will be tailored for you.

“If you don't know where you want to go you can't set your GPS. This workshop reeled me in and I feel like I have a trajectory. I can set my GPS now. I think it gave me chills.”

-Elisa

“Sean doesn’t sugarcoat challenges, but provides guidance to make the work sustainable and approachable.I feel more prepared to focus, stay ethical, and continue producing meaningful work without getting lost in the noise.”

-Katherine Beard

ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR:

"Imagine Indiana Jones with a camera and a mini camper, half world-changing photographer and half adventurer." -The Free Times (Columbia, SC)

As a photojournalist based in Columbia, South Carolina, I’ve covered the Palmetto State since 1997.

A 2001 grad from the University of South Carolina, I’ve photographed thousands of assignments and tackled more than a hundred personal projects. During the month of February I offer personal photo workshops in the Tampa and Orlando areas.

In 2021, one of my photos was published in Time Magazine’s “Best Photos of the Year” and my photographs have been exhibited at The Columbia Museum of Art on multiple occasions. I’ve self published three photo books and more than a dozen photo zines.

Photography has been an integral part of my life and career for nearly 30 years and I love sharing these types of experiences with others.

Before becoming a full-time photographer, I tended bar at a historic indie music venue for more than a decade. Before the music club, I was an assistant manager at a record store and an on-air DJ at WUSC 90.FM. Music has played a very significant role in my life and most of my friends are probably musicians.

I like the outdoors, rivers and boats. My everyday driver is a micro camper-van.

And….. Princess Diana read to my classmates and me when I was living in Alice Springs, Australia.
