I've participated in many workshops over the past 6 years in the US and abroad. The amount of individual (and I stress individual) attention in the RAW Oaxaca Writing and Photography workshop far exceeds any other learning workshop and with any other instructors. I was blown away by the amount of instruction and support all of the students received. No other photographers facilitating sessions come even close in one on one instruction. I learned so much that has encouraged me to work even harder on my art. All of us are so spoiled now. No others workshops are even going to come close.

In Raw Society workshops, Christelle and Jorge guide you strategically; through honesty, insight and personal attention, they move you forward in your photographic journey. You get to participate along with a small group of other talented photographers and make images that you are proud of. As an added bonus, Christelle and Jorge encourage you to both edit and sequence your work to tell a meaningful visual story. During my 5th workshop with Raw Society, time was spent in both Oaxaca and Teotitlan, offering a chance to photograph two very different Day of the Dead celebrations honoring deceased loved ones.

"If you're open to learning how to improve your abilities as a photographer/storyteller in an new and exciting environment with good people then a Raw Society workshop is absolutely something you should consider. Be ready to work hard, learn, and have fun. "

“Great workshop! The small group size means each of us received maximum personal attention in terms of workshop organization and photography education. I also enjoyed the informal setting of our group critique sessions. The zine making assignment was unique to most workshops and truly beneficial.”
