A video from the last Mexico Workshop. Students shooting and helping the pros, and Models on the Yacht shooting for the Girls of Rocky Point Calendar. To say they had a blast is a total understatement. And the images... well, you can see them for yourself on the video. Thanks Jesse.

Location: Las Palmas Resort in Rocky Point, Mexico

Flying in to Phoenix International? Let me know and we will get you down to Rocky Point with our caravan. Rocky Point is a safe trip into a safe area of Mexico. We do, however, travel as a caravan.

This is a full participation workshop.

We do more shooting on this workshop, and focus on environmental portraiture and beauty portraits. It is everything the other workshops are, with a more intense schedule. We are all staying at the Las Palmas so we start really early and we work until folks want to turn in.

The main casita (3000 SQ FT) serves as our base, with projectors, lighting gear, tutorials. a swipe file and more. We meet there mornings, midday, and at night. We process and edit, while working with each other to raise the bar. I do recommend you have a laptop. We do have a wireless access, so you can check email as you are working.

Special for this workshop:

The Girls of Rocky Point Calendar is being shot during the workshop and you have the opportunity to be involved. The shoots are early morning and late afternoon - before and after the workshop - and are totally voluntary. If you want the experience of working with models in a professional shooting atmosphere, this will be an outstanding experience. There are 5 shooters involved, and you can work with them on the shoots. You will be able to make some shots of your own at these shoots.

There is a lot of other things going on as well. The casita is alive from early morning to late night with all kinds of activities. Your level of involvement is totally voluntary outside of the workshop hours.

Also included in the shooting for participants:

Jet Skis and Models
Sailboats with Models
Beaches and Models
Horses on the Beach with Models
     (we are still working on this, keep fingers crossed)
