My program is
WAY MORE than just sitting around watching me shoot models. Since we only shoot 4 sets of pictures that day - watching me shoot is actually a very small part of the program.

I seriously doubt that any school is going to put on a 4-day Glamour/Nude Workshop hosted by an industry professional who actually makes his/her living shooting Glamour/Nude Photography. We are talking apples & oranges if you are comparing what I do to what a school does. David Mecey does a 4-day workshop but it runs about $3000. Nobody in this industry who makes a living doing what I do is going to teach a 4-day workshop for $400.

What about having the ability to watch as I setup some of my favorite lighting setups and discuss why I do it this way? What about the ability to ask me questions anytime throughout the day about my lighting setups, my white balance process, styling the set, picking out wardrobe, metering or my post processing technique? What about the ability to pick my brain about anything and everything that makes shooting Glamour/Nude Photography such a challenge? I literally answer hundreds of questions from attendees at my workshops. They have full-access to me all day long to ask anything that they want to ask. Can you put a price tag on that?
Ben, my workshops are more than just "sitting around and looking at naked girls and taking notes". If that was all my workshop was about - I seriously doubt I would be able to get anyone to attend. As it stands today - people fly in from all over to attend.
