Photo Serge workshops are premium, limited-capacity, in-person experiences that require significant advance planning, venue rentals, instructor and staff commitments, materials, travel arrangements, and marketing. These fixed costs are incurred well before the event, which is why we use a tiered cancellation policy — a standard practice among professional photography workshop providers and live-event organizers.
Payment Structure
A deposit is required at registration to secure your seat. The remaining balance will be invoiced approximately 60 days (2 months) prior to the workshop start date and is due upon receipt.
Tiered Cancellation & Refund Policy
All cancellations must be submitted in writing to [email protected] . The following schedule applies based on days prior to the workshop start date:
Transferability
At any time before the workshop, you may instead request to transfer your paid amounts to:
