The Lepp Institute of Digital Imaging offers a wide variety of photography workshops designed to improve your photography skills and digital imaging techniques.

Many workshops include at least one day of field photography, with the remaining days spent in the digital darkroom lab. The lab will be available for general use by the participants certain evenings from 7pm to 9:00pm with Wine and Cheese nights on Thursday evenings.

By the end of the workshop, participants will have several professional quality prints of their own images to take home. Your course fee includes all materials used in the digital darkroom lab.

Please bring along your own camera gear for the field photography portions of the class. We do have some Canon Cameras for our students to check out if you would like to try something new or do not have a camera of your own.

We encourage you to review our travel information page, and suggest that you make your travel and lodging arrangements as early as possible once you have registered for a course.
