Booking Gavin for workshops during road tours.

When teaching on the road I have a few approaches that leave it up to you. I come in and present single or multi-day workshop. It can be one of my existing workshops that I show here on the site, or a custom tailored event on things like Photoshop, Lightroom, HDR, image quality and more. Note that the amounts given are rough estimates. Costs will vary by travel expenses, location etc.

• Photo clubs & organizations. Your club or society books me to come present a lecture or hands on workshop for an agreed upon fee. This can also be planned with a minimum, or sliding scale based on attendance, so everyone wins. The cost structure is similar to private groups, but is flexible depending on your needs, budget and how close I’ll be traveling to your location. This can be one of my existing workshops, or something specially tailored for your group.
• Small group workshops. These are simple and allow you to contract me for a small group, hands on workshop at your location. For example, say I’m going thru Arizona, You get some local photographers together who agree to pay $100ea for a day workshop, with a minimum of 6 ($600). You’ll arrange the location and event. You could invite more people if you wanted and I would get $100ea up to 10 ($1000). After that I might get $50 per additional person. Note that this cost example is a general guide. Depending on location and how far I have to some costs may vary a bit.

• Private training. This is another valuable option that allows you to focus on a wide range photographic skillsets. I come to you and we spend one or more days one on one. Again, this can be based on one of my existing workshops, or custom tailored for your exact needs. Depending on area and length, the rate is generally 400-600 per day for private training.
