Santa Fe, New Mexico (PRWEB) June 10, 2014 -- Santa Fe Photographic Workshops is excited to offer a photography package in honor of its 25 years of passion for photography and world-class instruction. The 25th Anniversary hotel package celebrates this milestone with a 2-day intensive workshop featuring the inspiring light and landscape of Santa Fe and a 2-night stay at the iconic Inn and Spa at Loretto, one of the most photographed buildings in New Mexico. The package starts at $711.00 plus tax, and is available now through August 31, 2014. In addition, Santa Fe Workshops is running a water-themed photography contest honoring this valued resource with a percentage of contest proceeds donated in support of water projects in communities around the world.
Offering state-of-the-art photographic education and cutting-edge technology, Santa Fe Photographic Workshops enriches lives with world-renowned instruction in the culturally rich setting of Santa Fe, a city with a unique culture and architecture, gorgeous natural landscapes and the extraordinarily enchanted natural light of the Southwest. The Workshop’s 2-day intensives run on Saturdays and Sundays to help participants incorporate their passion for photography into their busy schedule. Workshops are offered at all levels—from beginner through professional—with course topics that include Using Your Digital Camera, Experimental Digital Printmaking and Basics of Portraiture, as well as courses on digitally enhancing your images, social media photography and cooking and food photography.
“The experience offered by Santa Fe Photographic Workshops is part education and part creative vacation in culturally-rich Santa Fe,” said Reid Callanan, Founder and Director of Santa Fe Photographic Workshops. “We are delighted for our students to stay at the Loretto, a photographic destination in and of itself.”
Modeled after the Taos Pueblo, a national historic landmark, the Inn and Spa at Loretto is an exquisite luxury hotel and one of the most photographed buildings in New Mexico. Located at the end of the Santa Fe Trail and adjacent to the historic Loretto Chapel, the Inn offers photography students an introduction to the history and architecture of Santa Fe and endless photographic opportunities.
