SUMMER IN
SEATTLE
SEATTLE, WASHINGTON
We’re ready for you.
We want nothing more than for you to show up as yourself in your photography and in your life. We are excited to see what YOU bring to the table, and we’re standing by, ready to help you when you show up for your dreams.
A Visual Delight.
A workshop full of abundance, playful creativity, and visual calm. Seattle in the summer offers a unique kind of rhythm - soft light, long days, and a city buzzing with neighborhood charm. We’ll photograph rhythm as it emerges: in movement, in color, in conversation. Think weekend markets, sidewalks dappled in shade, soft music spilling out from café doors.
This workshop is about tuning into pace, noticing mood, and making room for joy. It’s for the ones who want their camera to feel like part of their day. Easy, light, responsive.
Together we’ll explore the small, beautiful moments that make summer feel infinite: ripe peaches, long shadows, late blooms, and golden-hour wanderings.
You’ll spend time in conversation with your surroundings, and with your own way of seeing. Listen, pause, receive. Photography becomes a form of play, an act of attention, delight, and creative softness.
Let this be your gentle return to vision. Let wonder guide you back to what’s always been waiting to be seen.

Our daily schedule is designed to maximize great light and photographic opportunities. We usually begin with a morning photo session on location, followed by a break for you to have a meal or work on your images. After that, we'll have a critique session, followed by an evening shoot. You'll have time to enjoy a leisurely dinner before getting some rest for the day ahead. Our schedule strikes a balance between keeping you busy and allowing enough downtime to rest your creative muscles.
-
We want you to be able to choose the experience that resonates with you based on your preferences and budget, We will let you know where we will be staying and critiquing so you can select the same hotel or one nearby.

Tuition covers six days of amazing hand-selected locations (for the utmost in photogenic beauty, of course) and daily critiques. It covers belly laughs, new friendships, top-notch instruction, and help one-on-one with Tony while photographing. And in Italy, one round of gelato.
-
During our workshop, most of your time will be dedicated to on-location photography, critiques, and editing. There won't be much downtime for leisurely activities or relaxation with your partner as you would on a typical vacation.
If your partner is the independent and easygoing type who can entertain themselves throughout the day, purchasing an extra plane ticket for them might be a good idea. They can explore the local area or engage in their own activities while you focus on the workshop.

So we strongly recommend getting travel insurance; it's always better to be safe than sorry. Check out our Terms of Service link below for details and recommendations.

PB is for photographers who want to take amazing photographs, and we take this very seriously. Time spent on students' computer issues undermines the workshop experience for other participants, and we're just not cool with that. Please ensure all of your technology is up to date and in excellent working order before attending.
-
A working laptop (with plenty of storage and a long-lasting battery and charger cable) with the LATEST version of Lightroom, your camera (in tip-top shape), and any lenses you love and that bring you joy, and some extra cards and batteries, and maybe some sunscreen (reef-safe of course!).
