LA & VENICE BEACH

Play Harder
Our first Los Angeles workshop left a mark.
There was a shift we could all feel. The work opened up. It became more personal, more alive, more certain. You could see people settling in and trusting their eye. It was the kind of momentum that you want to stay close to.
So we are going back, baby, and it’s going to be better than ever.
This time, we are expanding it into a full-length experience. More time together, more space to slow down when needed, and a pace that allows the work to arrive at a level that feels undeniable.
For the first time, we will be splitting our time between Downtown LA and Venice Beach, moving between two completely different energies will shape the way you see.
In Los Angeles, everything sharpens. Architecture, line, and light come forward in a way that feels almost architectural in itself. Glass, steel, shadow, negative space. It is precise and layered, the kind of environment that quickly trains your eye and rewards your attention.
Then Venice shifts you into something else entirely. Salt air, movement, texture, people, color. It is fluid, unpredictable, and alive. You stop trying to control the frame and start responding to what is happening in front of you.
Together, they give you range. A balance of control and release, intention and instinct.
Los Angeles is one of the most visually impressive cities you can photograph. The architecture alone makes it essential. Light reflects, cuts, and wraps in ways that constantly change what you see, asking you to stay present and engaged.
And that is what this workshop is about. Trusting what you see and moving forward with more confidence and clarity than you arrived with.
Tony is with you throughout, in the field and in critique, offering direct and thoughtful feedback at every step.
If you are serious about your work, this is where you come to play. LA.

“PB Workshops are just what I need to re-center, refocus, and re-ignite that creative spark while honing my technical skills – all in an immersive, engaging, and “aha-moments” experience!"
“It is impossible to come to the end of a P/B workshop and not realize that you have grown in ways that you could never have imagined. Tony has a real gift for teach

The A’s to your Q’s

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!).
