WHO'S THIS TRIP FOR?

NYC during the holiday season is truly magical. You've probably seen countless videos and photos of beautifully decorated spots but don't know exactly where they are, when the best time to go is, or how to plan your trip most efficiently. We designed this trip for you!

This 2023 NYC Christmas Photo Trip will show you the best holiday decorations in the city. As a local New Yorker, I will be scouting all the locations before the trip to ensure every stop exceeds expectations. 

You will also be exploring NYC with like-minded female travelers. We gather here because we share the same passion for photos, fashion, and content creation. I hope you find someone who inspires you and forms a long-lasting friendship by the end of this trip. 

I designed the itinerary with each traveler's different goals in mind. This trip combines photo spots, planned activities, and free time to explore and relax.

WHY THIS TRIP?

We all have different goals when we travel, and I want to know your goals. 

I love colorful travel destinations and unique photo spots, and I use fashion to express myself as I travel worldwide.  
After being a content creator for years, I want to share my experiences and tips with people who share my passion. 

Before the trip, I will host an online meetup session to introduce everyone and discuss the details of the trip. It will also be a great opportunity to ask me any questions you may have. I will also offer local travel tips and outfit ideas, so you can be fully prepared to get the photos you want! 

Our itinerary is designed to efficiently cover as many photo spots as possible. There are also planned activities and group dining experiences that are unique to this trip and definitely photogenic.

This workshop makes our trip like no other. As a content creator who has built her social media presence from the ground up, I can share insight and advice you won't find anywhere else.

Many people ask me how I edit my photos&videos and how I find my creative inspiration. I will share my secrets with you, and I encourage everyone participating to do the same! You never know what kind of creative spark can arise from a group brainstorming session.

  • Social media is constantly changing. Will the workshops still be relevant then?
    The algorithms often change, but the fundamentals of creating good quality content remain timeless. Having the knowledge and skills to create high-quality and diverse content is the key to adjusting to the frequently changing social media platform.
  • I'm not quite ready to become a content creator yet; should I still enroll in the workshops?
    Absolutely! The workshops cover both fundamental knowledge and advanced techniques in photography and Videography that you can use on a professional level and on a daily basis. Remember, knowledge is power. Even if you are still getting ready, learning about these topics and having the tools handy will prep you. So whenever you are ready, you can walk into the industry feeling more confident.
  • What do I need to bring to the workshop? What if I don't have a camera?
    Nowadays, most people use their phones to take photos and videos, so our workshops mainly focus on how to elevate content that can be taken by phones. You just need: an iphone or android that can take photos and videos, and download 2-3 free apps that we will be using for editing demonstrations and practice.
  • Is this just another "Influencer Course"?
    There are no influencer courses out there that offer in-person and small class teaching. These two aspects make our workshops stand out from all the other influencer courses. Also, unlike other courses that teach you how to crack the algorithms, our workshops focus on skills and techniques. It is something that once you learn, you own it for the rest of your life. You don't have to "test it out" and see if it "works for you" or not. There is no myth or luck behind it; it's pure knowledge.
  • What is your cancellation policy?
    · All cancellations by you must be in writing and emailed to Company at the contact email address (hello@fishsflourish). · If cancellation takes place fourteen days prior to the Scheduled First Workshop Date, any payments made by you will be refunded. · If cancellation takes place between seven to fourteen days prior to the Scheduled First Workshop Date, 50% of the payment is refundable. · If cancellation takes place within seven days prior to the Scheduled First Workshop Date, you forfeit the entire amount remitted to Company. · Cancellation and Refund are not available after attending the Workshop.
  • Do you offer refunds?
    Due to the nature of the workshops and the in-person experience, unfortunately we won't be able to offer refunds after the participants attended the workshop. If you have any questions, always feel free to email me: hello@fishsflourish.com.
  • What if I don't have any previous experience in Photography and Videography?
    No worries! I started as a beginner too. I'm designing each workshop from my students' perspective and making them as easy to understand as possible. Because each workshop is a small group, I will be able to know everyone's level in advance and alter the courses accordingly.
  • Where will the workshop take place in NYC?
    The workshop will take place in a meeting space in Manhattan. The exact location will be shared with all participants, along with more details, before the workshop starts. All participants must bring their ID to check in before the workshop starts.
  • I'm not able to travel to NYC for these dates. Do you consider offering the workshops online?
    That's a great question! For now, I'm focusing on developing these in-person workshops and offering all participants as much as possible. If the demand is high, we might have more workshops, and I will consider making an online version available in the future. But for now, my main focus is these sessions in February and March 2024.
  • What if I'm in a different field? Will I still find the workshops useful?
    The future is digital. Whether you are an influencer, a business owner, or a freelancer, you need the knowledge and skills to generate materials digitally. The editing and industry knowledge I'm offering in the workshops is commonly shared among many diverse fields. Knowing how to create and edit content will help you stand out in your field.
  • Will I be able to get a one-on-one teaching session? If so, for how long?
    Each group has a maximum of eight students, which is already a much smaller setting than all the influencer online courses. The small group offers a more customized learning experience and targeted knowledge. But also, it is important to keep in mind that the workshop will be in a group setting, and everyone deserves an equal amount of time and attention. However, some aspects of the workshops are individualized: homework will be given after the first session, and during the second session, we will look at everyone's work, and I will offer personalized advice and feedback. Each workshop also has a live Q&A session for you to ask your questions.
  • Are there overlaps between the four workshops?
    Since some students will attend more than one workshop, each workshop is designed with specific topics and fields to avoid overlaps. For example, the editing skills and techniques we talk about in The Editing Lab and The Color Grading Masterclass are entirely different. Those of you attending multiple workshops won't feel like you are going over the same thing several times.
  • Can I reschedule my sessions?
    Each participant has one free reschedule for each workshop. You can reschedule your session for the same session later or switch it to a different workshop. Rescheduling is only available for sessions that are not sold out. Our workshops' maximum student capacity is eight, and we won't be able to add seats to sold-out sessions.
  • What is your late arrival policy?
    Classes begin promptly at the listed start times. If you arrive late, you may miss important sections of the course. We suggest everyone arrive 10 minutes before the workshop starts to sign in and ensure you have the apps ready to use in class.
  • When does the enrollment end for each workshop?
    The enrollment ends five days before the first session of each workshop, or when the spots are full.
