CANADA’S PREMIERE, IMMERSIVE 4-DAY PORTRAIT WORKSHOP EXPERIENCE.
CAMP CREATE IS THE ULTIMATE PORTRAIT WORKSHOP, HELD AT A CAMP ON THE STUNNING SOUTH SHORES OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND, CANADA. HOSTED BY DAVE BROSHA AND WAYNE SIMPSON, YOUR TEACHING PLAYGROUND WILL INCLUDE FOREST, FIELDS, AND AN INCREDIBLE BEACHFRONT VENUE.
WHAT IS CAMP CREATE?
CAMP CREATE is an immersive photography camp experience. Over the course of our time together, you’ll experience five different “focused workshops,” each led by an experienced mentor.
WHAT WILL I LEARN?
Small groups, different genres. Natural light. Lighting. Free-lensing. Couples. Families. Individuals. Indoor. Outdoor. Environmental portraiture. Moody, emotional portraiture. You’ll learn the essentials of light — from understanding natural light to multi-light setups. Character portraits and portraits born out of creativity.
During CAMP CREATE, you’ll learn from five skilled portrait mentors — some of the best in their genres across Canada. Hands-on workshops will be followed by your own shooting time. Additionally, you’ll participate in editing sessions, where you'll learn each mentor’s end-to-end process.
WHAT IS THE LOCATION AND VENUE LIKE?
We searched across Canada for the right venue. We wanted a place that could offer an immersive experience where attendees could stay on-site for the duration.
Accommodations. Food. Campfires. And creativity.
Turns out, this location was right in (my) backyard on beautiful Prince Edward Island.
We found a camp. A literal summer camp and have it reserved for four days.
Acres upon acres of creative backdrops — forests, lanes, fields, and incredible indoor spaces. And the best part? It's located right on the Atlantic Ocean. A pristine oceanfront playground with some of the most stunning coastline and dramatic low tides of Prince Edward Island's south shore.
That’s right—the camp is right on the ocean, and it’s all ours.
Each evening, after shooting, learning, and creating, we’ll gather around a bonfire and enjoy a few adult beverages (if that’s your thing).
The event will take place from September 10-13, 2026—a time when the island is less busy but still enjoys beautiful pre-fall weather.
DO I NEED TO STAY ON-SITE, OR CAN I STAY ELSEWHERE?
For the most immersive experience, we recommend staying on-site. We have a number of shared cabins available, and we’ve hired a caterer to provide meals throughout the event. No need for hotels, cottages, or driving once you arrive. All you need to focus on is learning and creating.
However, we understand that some people may want to turn their trip to PEI into a family vacation, travel with their non-photography partners, or you may want something a little more comfortable (the cabins are basic/rustic—we want to be upfront about that). So, you’re welcome to stay off-site if you prefer.
