Why Join?

My workshops are more than photography lessons. They’re a chance to reconnect with nature, slow down, and experience familiar places in new ways. I’ve spent years photographing throughout New England, and everything I’ve learned through trial, error, and discovery, I now pass on to others with passion and clarity. My teaching style is down-to-earth, encouraging, and focused on helping you develop your own voice and confidence as a photographer.

Terms, Liability & Refund Policy

By registering for a workshop, participants agree to assume full responsibility for their own safety, conduct, gear, and travel arrangements throughout the duration of the workshop. While every effort is made to select safe, accessible, and suitable locations, landscape photography often involves exposure to natural elements, uneven terrain, and unpredictable weather. Participants must be in reasonable physical health and able to navigate short walks or hikes on outdoor trails, rocky terrain, or coastal areas. You are advised to carry personal health insurance and trip cancellation coverage, as Abraham Carrasquillo Photography cannot be held liable for injuries, damages, loss of gear, or travel disruptions.

Refunds are available under the following conditions:

• Cancellations made 30 days or more before the start date will receive a full refund minus a 10% processing fee.  

• Cancellations made 14 to 29 days before the workshop will receive a 50% refund.  

• Cancellations made less than 14 days before the start date are non-refundable, unless your spot can be filled by someone on the waitlist.  

In the unlikely event that a workshop must be canceled by the instructor due to extreme weather, emergency, or insufficient enrollment, participants will receive a full refund or the option to transfer their registration to a future date. However, Abraham Carrasquillo Photography is not responsible for reimbursement of any travel or lodging expenses incurred.

Participation in the workshop implies your agreement to these terms. A full waiver of liability will be sent for signature prior to the event.
