Professional, Personal, and Profitable Event Photography

with Aaron Hockley


Successful event photography involves much more than just showing up an event and taking snapshots what you happen to see.  If you're looking to incorporate event photography as one of your photography services, this workshop will teach you how to do so in a profitable manner that leads to repeat clients.

Like any genre of professional photography, the successful event photographer will understand what needs to happen before, during, and after the shoot in order to have a smooth experience both for themselves and the client.


In this workshop you'll learn:

  • What to include in your event photography contracts
  • An overview of pricing models and options
  • Thoughts on what gear to bring and how to carry it
  • During the event: where to be, when to be there, and how to interact with various participants (speakers, organizers, attendees)
  • How to edit and deliver your event images


In addition to classroom learning, attendees will spend time hands-on role playing various event photography scenarios; bring your camera and lenses.  If you have a speedlight, bring that as well.

We'll break for lunch mid-day; lunch is on your own and there are restaurants in the area.

This is a PPA Continuing Education System class; PPA members who attend the full workshop will receive one PPA merit.
