This is a goal-oriented workshop, and is especially for those who want to work in a particular area or market of photography. It is helpful for students to coordinate this course with one of the other specific workshops offered by this school, as this master class is not for beginners. James requests that all applicants apply for the class by telephone interview with him.

By completing the course, students will sustain a solid development to the commitment they have already shown in their own photographic development.
