EDUCATION FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS

Workshops & Mentoring with Christopher Tashjian

Photography is more than creating beautiful images—it's about continually learning, refining your craft, and building a business that reflects your artistic vision.

Whether you're just beginning your photography journey or you're an experienced professional looking to elevate your technical skills, creativity, lighting techniques, or client experience, I'm passionate about helping photographers grow with practical, real-world education.

As an award-winning professional photographer and Professional Photographers of America (PPA) educator, I enjoy sharing the knowledge I've gained throughout my career with photographers who are committed to taking their work to the next level.

I offer photography education designed to inspire confidence, strengthen technical skills, and encourage artistic growth through personalized instruction and hands-on learning.

I currently teach workshops through the Professional Photographers of America (PPA) and continue developing new educational opportunities for photographers who want to improve their craft.

Workshop topics may include:

One-on-One Mentoring

Sometimes the fastest way to improve is through personalized instruction. My one-on-one mentoring sessions are designed around your goals, experience level, and areas you'd like to strengthen.

Together we can focus on topics such as:

Lighting Mastery
Off-Camera Flash
Portrait Posing
Wedding Workflow
Client Communication
Camera Settings
Editing & Image Selection
Building a Strong Portfolio
Competition & Print Preparation
Professional Development

Whether you need help mastering technical skills or building confidence behind the camera, mentoring provides focused guidance tailored specifically to your needs.

Learn From Real-World Experience

Photography is constantly evolving, and so are the expectations of today's clients.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of photographing weddings, portraits, and award-winning imagery while continually investing in my own education and professional development.

My goal is to provide practical education that photographers can immediately apply to improve both their images and their client experience.

Every workshop and mentoring session is designed to provide actionable techniques—not just theory—so you leave with skills you can begin using right away.
