FAQ’S

FOR GROWNUPS…

Where does the workshop take place?

At Mark Ostow’s studio (on the Red Line) right in the middle of Central Square in Cambridge. (Address below) It’s on the fourth floor and consists of two 500Sq feet rooms. We spend about 1/3 of our time in studio and the rest of the time on field trips or shooting street portraits.

Should I pack my kid a lunch?

Each workshop day we have fun trying different cuisines. Tibetan buffet is one of Mark’s favorites. BUT if you want to keep more control over the food (allergies, etc), or just want to keep costs down, then please do pack a lunch.

What if my teen has a dentist appointment?

Since the workshop is only five days, attendance is important, but we understand that sometimes life gets in the way and we can make provisions as needed.

My child has no photo experience is that ok?

Absolutely! As long as they are interested in photography, looking at things, and experiencing the city. TPW is not about teaching them by way of a rigorous curriculum, but more about helping them open their eyes a little wider.

My kid has tons of photo experience. Will they be bored?

Probably not.

We don’t own a DSLR camera. Please advise.
