Creative Stations with Gail Stent
20 June 2026 @ 9:00 AM – 21 June 2026 @ 3:00 PM
Explore, Experiment, Express
- Step into a weekend of pure photographic play! This immersive 2-day workshop invites you to rotate through a series of themed creative shooting stations, each designed to spark fresh ideas, awaken your artistic eye, and push your image-making into exciting new territory. Whether you’re craving inspiration, wanting to try new in-camera techniques, or looking to break out of a creative rut, this workshop blends experimentation, guidance, and plenty of opportunity to create unique, expressive images. Every station offers a fresh challenge and a chance to make imagery that feels bold, expressive, and uniquely yours. You’ll receive guided instruction at each station, time to shoot and explore, and group sharing to reflect on discoveries. Perfect for photographers wanting to find inspiration, try new techniques, and build confidence in their creative voice. Join us for a fun, supportive environment where you’ll explore, collaborate, and leave with a refreshed sense of creative momentum.

PSNZ Cancellation Policy
Due to the nature of the PSNZ Workshop Series and that the workshops are generally for small groups and often over-subscribed, cancellations can have a significant financial and attendance effect on the workshop, as well as creating a lot of further administration work.
Although we do everything possible to ensure our workshops proceed, sometimes there are things beyond our control. We strongly advise members to take out the low-cost travel insurance ($20) that Air NZ offer to cover non-cancellable costs such as airfares and accommodation) or to use motels that don’t require advance payment.
- PSNZ reserves the right to postpone or cancel a workshop due unforeseen circumstances e.g. facilitator illness, venue access issues, etc. In the event we do cancel a planned workshop, we will attempt to inform attendees as soon as possible and in most cases you will be given an alternative date to attend or provided with a full refund of the workshop costs.
- If a workshop is postponed, the first right of refusal will be given to those who were already booked on that workshop for the rescheduled workshop.
- Should a workshop fail to attract a required minimum number of attendees to make it viable to run, PSNZ reserves the right to cancel the workshop.
- PSNZ will not accept responsibility for travel and accommodation costs incurred by attendees.
- Attendees booked for in-person workshops may cancel their booking if they give 60 days’ notice prior to the commencement of their workshop and receive a full refund less a $20 administration fee; or where less than 60 days notice is given then we will do our best to fill your place from the waitlist. If we are able to do this, we will refund your fee less a $20 administration fee. Otherwise no refund will be made.
- FOR ONLINE WORKSHOPS – Your registration is final and no refunds will be made unless the workshop cannot proceed.
