The Destination
New Orleans has been our host since 2009 for this amazing workshop. Each year, the welcome from the nonprofits is overwhelmingly positive. The city is alive with nonprofit groups dedicated to creating a stronger community by helping restore its former glory in the areas of the city still suffering from the effects of Hurricane Katrina and Gulf Oil Spill.
Momenta connects photographers with nonprofit organizations we have worked with in the past. However, we encourage more advanced photographers to find their own photo story or charity of their choice. Don’t worry! Our staff will guide you every step of the way if you choose to venture down this road.
Every day of the workshop, Momenta instructors will help you develop a photo story close to your personal vision. We do this through daily 1-on-1 editing with you and an instructor for about one hour. If interested, we encourage you to record audio for multimedia presentations and their portfolio. Momenta will have audio gear on hand to borrow as well as multimedia instruction for interested attendees.
What To Expect
You will receive your own nonprofit to work with, based on feedback from our pre-workshop student questionnaire
Momenta handles all pre-workshop logistics for nonprofit assignments including introductions to each nonprofit occuring about 1-2 weeks before the workshop
Your work benefits small, local nonprofits in their need to publicize & project their activities to new audiences
Momenta presents an intensive instruction on Photo Mechanic & photo asset archiving
Nightly slideshows & group critiques combine with daily, 1-on-1 editing & instruction
Presentations including topics of narrative storytelling, elements of a photo story & history of documentary photography
Voluntary multimedia instruction & editing for interested attendees

It’s Easy to Sign Up!
Each workshop requires a minimum deposit to reserve your place in the workshop. After you have registered for a workshop, final payments are due within 120 days of the start of the workshop. Once registered, you will receive a confirmation email from our registration partners.
As we near the start of the workshop, you will receive informational documents from our staff including a reading and research list, your final workshop itinerary, and travel guides. We work very hard to insure you are prepared in every way for this learning adventure. Our staff stands ready to answer any of your questions and to help facilitate the smoothest travel experience possible.
Equipment
We require all attending photographers to bring their own cameras, laptop and support gear like external hard drives. Our staff and instructors can offer gear recommendations and help you understand the nuances of your equipment.
We ask all photographers bring at least a digital SLR camera with 1-2 lenses. We encourage you to bring a flash and a lightweight tripod. Should you choose to participate in a multimedia project, you must come with a working knowledge of the required software programs and your equipment.
Please see our Resources tab at the top of the website for our gear and traveling tips suggestions.
Notes
This course is designed for people who are good natured, flexible, have a working knowledge of photography and are interested in a unique documentary photography workshop experience. We will work with each photographer to improve their photography on any level, and we will find the right theme for your vision. We will provide support every step of the way, but you need to have a positive attitude and work well with a group!
This experience is more of a photo practicum than it is a tourism trip. The educational journey will be amazing and eye opening but it is not easy. You will work long hours. Your instructors will give you daily challenges and push you to new heights with your photography. We will encourage you to stretch and think creatively.
You may encounter people or organizations that are challenging to photograph. You may have to photograph in dark rooms or outside at high noon. You may have stressful days of difficult logistics. While we will be there to help you, support you and give you insight on the best way to handle the situation as a professional, you will need to take as much responsibility for your progress as we do.
Register with security and confidence.

Growing For Success.
How Does It Work?
Business boot camp combines weekly deadlines with personalized coaching. We begin with a series of questionnaires and tasks to get to know the state of your business. We then conduct research to evaluate your needs, your competition and your marketplace. All this is goes into your personal boot camp schedule.
Every business is different and so are your coaches. You might work for 4 weeks with an organizational coach and the next four weeks with a workflow specialist. We might round out your training with a video editing expert to hone your portfolio. We might have someone work with you marketing strategies. It’s all based on what you need and the best way for you to grow!
It’s all remote! Most photographers don’t work in one place all the time, so we do this all online. We work with you via screen sharing, teleconferencing and video chats. It’s easy and flexible to your needs for the best outcome and growth.
