Workshops & One-on-One Training

Personalized photography instruction, offered both online and in the field within the Phoenix, Arizona metro area. Sessions are tailored to your experience level, goals, and the type of work you want to pursue.

Each in-the-field session begins with a 30-minute pre-session video consultation, where we discuss your objectives and review your current images. This allows us to identify strengths, areas for growth, and build a focused plan before we ever step into the field.

In-The-Field Instruction

Hands-on sessions focused on real-world conditions, changing light, and practical decision-making in the moment. These sessions emphasize patience, observation, and working with natural behavior rather than staged situations.

Topics may include:

Camera setup and practical exposure control
Composition in dynamic, uncontrolled environments
Working with natural light and changing conditions
Reading behavior and anticipating moments
Field positioning and approach

Online Instruction

Remote sessions allow for focused learning without travel. These are ideal for image review, post-processing, and workflow refinement.

Topics may include:

Lightroom and Photoshop workflow
Image selection and refinement
Exposure and tonal control in post-processing
File organization and long-term workflow management
Preparing images for print or web presentation

Why Train with Christopher Forslund?

My instruction is shaped by decades of time in the field, working with natural light, real behavior, and uncontrolled conditions. I don’t teach from presets or formulas, I teach students how to observe, think, and respond in real time.

Whether we’re working in the field or online, the focus is always on building practical, repeatable skills: understanding light, reading behavior, making thoughtful visual decisions, and developing an efficient editing workflow that supports your creative intent.

I work one-on-one so each session stays personal, focused, and directly relevant to your goals. The pace is calm, the instruction is practical, and the emphasis is on helping you grow with confidence in your own process.

Bonus Equipment Access for Canon Users

For Canon shooters participating in one-on-one instruction, select sessions may include supervised access to professional telephoto lenses such as the Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS USM or the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM.

This allows students to experience how long-lens field work feels in real-world conditions — from handling and balance to framing, stabilization, and subject isolation. Lens access is based on availability and field conditions and is intended as an educational opportunity rather than a rental service.
