Andrew French Workshops introduces photographers - both emerging and professional - to new ways of seeing that are uniquely their own while also providing technical and lighting guidance through hands-on demos in a daylight studio setting. Photographers come away from his workshops with new ideas, approaches and practices, as well as plenty of beautiful imagery to build a portfolio or new body of work.

Summer 2024

TEEN SCHOLARSHIP FUND

We are currently fundraising to provide scholarships for teens, ages 14-18 years old, to enroll in our (Extra)Ordinary Teen Photography Summer Camp 2024 in New York City.

Our Program Goals:

We will guide teen photographers to build a personal photographic portfolio of images, learn new technical lighting and photography techniques, develop visual literacy and critical thinking, engage in community building exercises and public speaking skills. These young artists will come together with their peers to create, share, develop social bonds, and explore their creativity in a supportive, collaborative space where they can thrive.

"Andrew French is as generous a teacher as one could hope to find. He is full of enthusiasm, a total nerd about lighting and gear and has the best eclectic library of photography books that you’ve never seen. A weekend with him is an absolute delight!" 

- Amy Arbus

“Andrew French is terrific at making people feel comfortable and excited about learning. He’s created a non-threatening atmosphere . . . that doesn’t always happen in learning situations and what he does is a gift! He’s excited about what he does, about getting others interested, equally excited, learning, pushing the envelope and stretching their comfort zone.”

- Kent Sargent

“I have taken workshops with Andrew many times. His studio has remarkable natural light, his models are professional and his guidance truly informed. His passion for working with natural light is infectious.”

- Robert S. Johnson

"Attending Andrew French's Figure & Portrait in the Daylight Studio workshop was a great experience I will treasure. Having not a lot of portrait experience, I was initially overwhelmed but soon got into the groove with help and guidance from Andy, his teaching assistants, models, and my fellow attendees. It really is true, if you want to improve, surround yourself with the best. The workshop was a great learning experience and a great atmosphere for improving my skills."

- Richard Holmes

"Andrew French is the world's best photo teacher, and these workshops in and around his daylight studio are life-changing. Highly, bigly, meteorically recommended!"
