What camera brand do I need?
Any brand works — Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fuji, Panasonic, Olympus. If you shoot something unusual, email team@henrymproduction.com and we’ll make sure everything you need is covered.
Will there be a model to shoot?
Yes. We bring in a professional model so you have a real subject to practice on during the hands-on portion.
How small is the group?
Five seats maximum for this session. Everyone gets plenty of shooting time with the model and real one-on-one attention from Henry.
What’s your refund policy?
Full refund up to 7 days before the workshop. Within 7 days, we’ll credit you toward a future workshop. If we cancel, you get a full refund automatically.

No — we’ll cover it. Come as you are.
