“I found the time with professionals to be helpful, and critique of my work allowed me to look objectively at my photographs and inform future photography decisions based on what looks good to the reviewers.”
Tyler McFarland | MFF Workshop Student 2023
“The portfolio review session was probably the most helpful part of the workshop. Getting to break down my photos at such an intense level was extremely helpful in figuring out which images to include in my portfolio going forward. I think the biggest thing I learned was what really is a portfolio picture. I learned that you can have a great picture, but you still may not want to include it in your portfolio.”
Molly McPherson | WFF Workshop Student 2023
“I would be absolutely thrilled to recommend the NCAA Photos Final Four Workshop to others! On a scale of 1 to 10, my likelihood of recommending this workshop would be a solid 10.”
Emily Armstrong | WFF Workshop Student 2023
“It was fantastic. I really appreciated that it was very hands-on and instruction was given when asked as opposed to it being a very rigid and structured system. If you needed help, you asked and you got amazing feedback and assistance, otherwise we were able to just make pictures.”
Robert O’Brien | MFF Workshop Student 2023
“As a photographer who primarily uses Canon gear, I was very excited to learn that we would be provided both gear and knowledge from a Canon representative. Tony was incredibly helpful and I learned a lot about both my gear and the gear that was provided.”
Alysa Rubin | MFF Workshop Student 2022
