About TPW

Texas Photo Workshop was founded in 2008 by Award winning photographer and former Texas Highways Magazine Photography Editor Kevin Vandivier. Not all workshops are the same! A mediocre photographer can only teach you to become mediocre at best. Great photographers can teach you to become a great shooter as well. TPW enlist A-List photographers who have a proven track record as professional award winning photographers to teach our photography workshops. Both the online and in‐person workshops will advance your learning process by months if not years.

We have found the best way for you to learn is to do. All of our workshops are based on a hands-on learning approach. We will teach you the principals and details of execution then send you out in the field to practice what you've learned. But it doesn't end there. The true benefit of our workshops is the critique of your work from professionals. Once you've submitted your work, you will be given a critique of the image. We promise, no smack-downs, just good, constructive feedback on the image, what could have been done to improve it, and what to look for the next time you're in that situation. Using this approach, we have seen vast improvement in every one of our students.

Our philosophy is to provide you with the tools necessary to become a great photographer. Whether you use those tools to wow your friends or build a career is entirely up to you.
