Photo Workshops
Join me on one of my photo workshops throughout the year during a field workshop, classroom, or online class.
Taught by myself or with colleague Christine Hauber, combined we offer over 40 years of professional photography experience and absolutely love sharing our knowledge and experience with our students.
NOTE: Due to commitments to our fine art exhibition schedules in 2012 there was a huge drop in the time Christine and I had available to teach workshops. As such there were only a couple limited opportunities to study photography with us.
Well 2013 is going to be different! A number of major workshops are being scheduled in five different states across the country. While we were able to block off a number of dates for 2013, there is no guarantee we will be able to book as many in 2014 so if you were looking to take a workshop with Christine and me, 2013 is definitely going to be the year to do it!
We are extremely excited about the schedule we put together for 2013 in some of the most beautiful and interesting locations in the States. A limited number of students will, for example, be able to join us for an incredible couple of first-ever workshops in Cape Cod, Mass., one of my hometowns where I spent 7 years living and photographing.

About Matt Suess:
Matt began his professional photography career while in college in 1990 and for the next 17 years worked as an award-winning photojournalist and winner of the 2003 New England Press Associations’ Photographer of the Year Award. His editorial and advertising photography has been published worldwide in newspapers, magazines, books, and more.
Matt is a digital photography pioneer who began working with digital imaging in the early 1990's and helped implement and teach digital image processing to fellow newspaper staff photographers in the late 90's and early 2000's.
In 2006 Matt left behind his photojournalism career and ever since he has been a full-time artist selling his artwork at some of the best juried fine art festivals throughout the Southwest, with collectors worldwide.
With his vast experience in photography it is no surprise that Matt loves teaching. Due to the demands of being a full-time artist constantly traveling, he is only able to teach a small number of workshops each year. You can view his upcoming workshop schedule here.
About Christine Hauber:
Christine began her professional photography career in 1993. A graduate of the Art Institute of Colorado and the University of Colorado, her photographs have been shown in galleries nationally and showcased in B&W and Photo Technique Magazine.
The author of the book Working in the USA, Christine has been the subject of several television programs, including the Fine Living Channel's Radical Sabbatical and CNN's NewsNight with Aaron Brown and interviewed for such internet and podcast programs as the Candid Frame and Photo Talk Radio.
She has conducted national lectures, seminars and workshops in addition to teaching photography at a community college. Since she now travels extensively selling her artwork, she is able to conduct a small number of workshops each year.
Christine began selling her artwork as a full-time artist in 2004. She has taken her photography into the realm of mixed media, creating one-of-a-kind pieces combining patinaed or oil painted metals with her photographs. Her work is now collected internationally. Her website is ChristineHauber.com
