The Santa Fe Workshops has achieved an excellent reputation during its 18 years of operation as a valuable and fun environment for participants. A major contributing factor is that each staff member hired is technically proficient, possesses an imaging aesthetic of their own, and enjoys working with people. Superior customer service is integral to every job description and to participant's and instructor's overall experience.
Our objective when hiring staff is to select individuals who bring formal education, knowledge of digital capture and output, photographic experience, and resourcefulness, so that it benefits the experience of participants. This is especially true when meeting the needs of instructors. The majority of instructors are working professionals and expect technically and aesthetically proficient staff members. As a staff member, The Workshops is a place to give your knowledge back to those who need it and want it, rather than take-away more for yourself.
