The Available Light: Pro Workshop

Six months of creative growth for experienced photographers.

You know your camera. You’ve spent years making photographs, and you’ve created images you’re proud of.

But are you feeling creatively stuck? Making repetitive photographs? Losing motivation? Wondering how to make further progress?

The Available Light: Pro Workshop is a six-month, live online experience designed to help you rediscover your enthusiasm, develop your photographic eye, and create a cohesive body of work you’re proud to show.

Led by Ernest Dalby, whose career spans more than 40 years in photography, multimedia, and professional visual production, the Workshop combines fresh photographic challenges, constructive critique, personal guidance, and purposeful independent work.

What’s Included

• 12 live online group sessions, two hours each, approximately every two weeks.
• Two private, one-hour portfolio consultations with Ernest Dalby, focused on your individual photographic development.
• Ongoing constructive group critique, including rotating in-depth reviews of participants’ photographs.
• Guided photographic exercises designed to strengthen observation, creative judgment, and intentional image-making.
• A small group limited to 10 photographers, ensuring meaningful individual attention.
• A final presentation of your selected and sequenced body of photographic work.
