Training Workshops

 

Virtual Backgrounds presents its highly successful workshops devoted entirely to the use of Virtual Backgrounds projection systems. The workshops have drawn photographers from across North America and many countries abroad. The workshop enables participants to begin to see the magnitude and depth of implementing background projection into the studio. Composed of lectures, demonstrations and lots of hands-on time, the three day program is combined with helpful information on creating your own backgrounds as well as developing the use of Virtual Backgrounds as a strong marketing and sales tool for your studio.

 

When And Where

Workshops are regularly scheduled throughout the year and are held at the Virtual Backgrounds teaching facility in San Marcos, Texas (30 miles south of Austin and 50 miles north of San Antonio).
