undefined
Overview
Outdoor photography workshops teach landscape, wildlife, and adventure photography through multi-day instructional trips to scenic destinations.
With photography travel combining two passions, workshops generate revenue of $100,000-$320,000 with 55-70% margins.
Services include weekend landscape photography workshops, wildlife photography safaris, northern lights photography, night sky/astrophotography, multi-day photo expeditions, and post-processing instruction.
Pricing typically $800-$2,500 per person for 3-5 day workshop.
Success factors include expert photography and teaching skills, access to photogenic locations (permits, private land), small group sizes for instruction quality, providing post-processing education, and building portfolio and social media presence.
