Registration To reserve your space in a workshop in Mexico, a deposit of $600 is required at the time of registration. This can be done over the phone by calling (505) 983-1400 with your American Express, MasterCard, Visa, or Discover Card number, or by mail with a check, money order, or your credit card number. We cannot hold space in a workshop without a deposit. Once your deposit has been received and your portfolio approved (when required), you will be admitted to your workshop of choice. We will send you a statement of your account, with the balance due 45 days prior to the start of the workshop. Final payment of your balance may be made by check or money order payable in U.S. funds, or by American Express, MasterCard, Visa, or Discover cards.
Portfolios While all applications are processed promptly and a space reserved in the workshop of your choice, you are not officially accepted into a workshop requiring a portfolio until we review appropriate samples of your photography. Do not panic! For those workshops, simply submit 20 images via e-mail, direct us to your Web site, or send us a CD with your images. We also accept slides, unmounted prints, tear sheets, and promotional cards. If you are e-mailing your images, please e-mail small JPEGS (72dpi) to info@santafeworkshops.com. This policy reflects our sincere desire to maintain a consistent level of photographic proficiency in each workshop. The portfolio review process also ensures that your choice of a workshop is a sound and prudent one. If we do not feel that your choice is appropriate, we will call you and discuss other possibilities. If you choose not to transfer to a suggested workshop, we will refund the deposit, less a $45 application fee. Please note that your photographs are reviewed in-house, not by the instructors. Please send portfolios by UPS, Federal Express, or DHL to Santa Fe Workshops, 50 Mt. Carmel Rd., Fatima Hall #F2, Santa Fe, NM 87505. We must return all images prior to your workshop, so please include a self-addressed stamped envelope or prepaid airbill.

At that time we will refund your deposit, less a $250 cancellation fee. If notification of cancellation is made between 30 and 45 days before the start of the workshop, we must retain the $600 deposit. If notification of cancellation is made less than 30 days before the start of the workshop there will be no refund.
