Join Monika Deviat for a group photography workshop and enjoy a dynamic and collaborative learning experience. Group workshops bring together enthusiastic photographers of all levels and experiences and build wonderful connections. Benefit from the expertise of an experienced instructor who will guide you through techniques, composition ideas and creative processes. Although these are in a group setting, your instructor will ensure everyone gets one-on-one time in the field.
Group workshops vary in format – a few are co-lead with other renowned photographers, some are all inclusive and some are less involved and easier on the wallet. Group sizes are kept small to ensure everyone gets one-on-one time, to minimize impact on locations and wildlife, and to create more personal and connected experiences.

“Choosing Monika Deviat Photography was the best decision for learning how to capture special moments. Her exceptional talent extends beyond traditional photography, as she beautifully incorporated astrophotography into our session. The way she masterfully blended natural and celestial elements created truly magical and unforgettable images. Monika Deviat is not just a photographer; she is an artist who turns moments into timeless works of art. Not only have I learned how to take photographs from her sessions, she has changed how I view daily life. That I am looking at the world around me with a vision of the world in pictures that I did not have before. Not only am I taking better photos, I am seeing the world around me as the art it is.” – Kristine McLean

“666 Stars: Monika is one of the kindest, funniest, and smartest people I’ve ever met. I was lucky enough to be chosen for a mentorship by her awhile back. Although I ended up dropping out for personal reasons that I’m still working out today, I am beyond blown away by the help, suggestions, and tutoring I had received. I highly recommend Monika to anyone serious about learning or upping ones photography skills. You won’t be disappointed.” – Amber Dawn Glover
