We're Eloquent Light and we're passionate about photography . . .

Now is the time to get back out in the world and take a photography workshop. Why should you join us? We are experts and working photographers; we offer small groups with lots of individual attention. In other words, we know how to help you make great photographs!

Who are we? Award-winning fine-art photographer Craig Varjabedian with his studio manager Cindy Lane founded Eloquent Light 35-years ago. Craig received his Master of Fine Arts degree (MFA) from the prestigious Rochester Institute of Technology. Our program was born in the magnificent red hills of Ghost Ranch—a landscape made famous by painter Georgia O’Keeffe. We love photography, we love New Mexico, and we love sharing one of the most beautiful places on earth with photographers from all over the world.

We teach photography out in the world because we believe that is where it is best learned. Many instructors try to teach in front of a computer or a screen in a classroom. But we believe that learning how to use your own equipment—where to point the camera and deal with a host of technical issues while standing in front of an incredible subject bathed in breathtaking light—is critical in learning how to make great photographs.

So we’ll pledge you this: We will continue to offer the best photography workshops, and when you join us we will help you take better photographs and improve their quality in the field and in the studio. In addition to our scheduled workshops, we offer private workshops and personal coaching, too, tailored to your schedule and specific needs.

And so we invite you to join us on an adventure with your camera in beautiful New Mexico and other places too. Please feel free to contact us by e.mail or by phone at (505) 983-2934 with any questions
