PhotoEx: A Life-Changing Experience
PhotoEx travel workshops offer a blend of intermediate photography, international travel, and intense discipleship over a three or four week trip. IPS provides these on a yearly basis to a variety of destinations, including: New Zealand, China, Alaska, and Southeast Asia.
Our latest PhotoEx was to New Zealand and Fiji. Students not only traveled through the rolling green hills of New Zealand's North Island and the rugged grandeur of the South Island, but also worked with missionaries in Fiji in what can only be described as "a life-changing photographic experience."
Continuing Education
IPS offers several continuing education experiences designed build on the lessons of the standard week-long courses. These offer practical projects under the tutelage and guidance of an experienced instructor.
Prizewinning Photography Lite
The Institute in Photographic Studies no longer offers this 2-day workshop. We do have instructors who are available to teach on a number of photographic and creative arts topics.
