Workshop participant safety and comfort is extremely important here at Peterson Photo Workshops. Covid-19 safety protocols are followed in all workshops.

First of all, I want prospective workshop participants to know that your instructor is vaccinated, boostered, and will be closely following Covid-19 guidelines in operating workshops.

Specific additional steps I am taking:

  • All workshops are limited to a maximum of 10 participants.
  • Current workshop offerings are outdoor field workshops only, in which participants are naturally “socially distanced.”
  • As participants photograph, I circulate among them individually to guide, coach, and assist, but will remain at a safe distance.. 
  • Hand sanitizer will be available throughout the workshop day
  • Alcohol wipes will be available for participants to wipe down their camera equipment if – and as often as – they wish.
  • During past field workshops, we gathered at the end of the day – sometimes in the field viewing camera LCDs, sometimes at a restaurant or coffee shop with laptops – to compare images and discuss favorites from the day. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, we have instead met via a Zoom a week or so after the workshop for this activity. These sessions are 90 minutes, and are actually superior to meeting in person: all participants can easily see each others’ work from the day.
