Different Approach to Photographic Education

Welcome to After Dark— Hands-on, creativity-based photographic education.

At After Dark, the industry’s best teachers and photographers leave platforms and PowerPoints to work beside you in studio settings. Come join a community of photographers, committed to improving their portrait art and business acumen via collaborative, experiential, creative learning.
Our Mission

To help photographers of all levels find creative breakthroughs via hands-on, goal-oriented education that fosters innovation through the creativity of small groups.
More Playground

After Dark experts use fully equipped studio settings to teach and explore ideas. They work beside participants in real time, hands-on, creative problem solving.
More Lab

You can’t experiment in a notebook. And this is no lecture/note taking conference where you leave fired up, then let your spiral collect dust on a shelf. At After Dark, education is by doing, practicing, tinkering, sharing and exploring beside 40 of the industry’s most accomplished professionals.
More Flexibility

You go to conferences with questions and issues that are important, but you won’t find them on most conference agendas. Our agenda is customizable. You’ll customize it with topics and issues that are preventing you from making more money through your art.
More us

After Dark is a community. That’s why we do free sessions for charities. That’s why we’ll break into small villages for group brainstorming. That’s why we’re incorporating social media technology so After Dark’s collaborative learning will continue long after you leave.
More fun, Period!

In Austin, The Live Music Capital of the World, musicians will be models. Some will make music. After Dark’s relaxed atmosphere will help you reawaken your inner muse and find creative solutions to issues that matter.

this is going to be the premier event in learning. i believe that to be a great photographer you need to understand the core basics of lighting. rembrandt, butterfly, broad and short. all very important styles with very specific results. learning how to shoot quickly and consistantly is a key part of our day to day success. seeing the light should be second nature, so all you do is have to interact with your subject and think posing. studio, location, hi-speed ocf, we use everything we can to set us apart from the other studios. after dark is an amazing chance to learn from the industries leaders, at a price that is very affordable. hope to see you there.
