Christian Photography Workshops | Encounter God. Discover Vision. Photograph Life.

More Than Just Pictures

Encounter God. Discover vision. Photograph life.

From craggy cliffs to intimate coffee shops, sweeping skylines to brilliant sunrises. Fiery sunsets. Campfires. Urban graffiti.

IPS workshops take advantage of the world around us to provide practical, hands-on instruction and personal image review. IPS instructors are professional photographers selected not only for their expertise, but because they are passionate about glorifying God and active in challenging others to do the same.

IPS provides the world's premier open-enrolling Christian photography workshops devoted to equipping photographers with the tools to impact the world. We invite you to join us for a learning experience you will never forget!

Portland PWP2 - Day 2

It’s my second week of IPS here in Portland... can I just say I LOVE this class?! The atmosphere is open and relaxed, even with the intense busyness of constantly learning new information and completing assignments. The growth I am seeing in my skills really excites me!

Portland PWP2 - Day 1

Tue, 2010-07-27 16:23 - - IPS

Monday. Wow. It was great. A challenging day for me, but it was great at the same time because I learned some really great stuff. Like eating humble pie.

After going through workflow in Lightroom in the morning we got to do some fun still life with our flash during the afternoon. Very much my weak spot, something I like to ignore ;) My flash had some problems and we got a little behind schedule, which meant that we had less time to do our assignment, didn’t turn out like we wanted it to. Which is where the nice little serving of humble pie came it.

Portland PWP - Day 5

Tue, 2010-07-27 16:05 - - IPS

It’s hard to believe that today was the last day of Prize Winning Photography 1 here in Portland!! It has been an incredible week of learning, not only about photography, but about being a good leader and about our relationship with God.

This morning we had one more session with the fabulous Hannah, which was all about the basics of Digital Imaging. Then the moment we had all been waiting for… We got a chance to review our prints from Thursday’s portrait shoot at the Riverfront!! It’s interesting how when you know that your pictures are going to be printed you put a lot more time and thought into each one…
