Greatest Hits with Leanne and Mark
-
Join Leanne Trivett S. and Mark Evans for a five-part deep dive into the why behind the subjects that define their work. From the raw pulse of the London Underground to the brooding elegance of moody florals, they reveal the techniques and creative fixations that drive them. These are the images, genres, and processes they return to time and again because they challenge, excite, and remind us all why we picked up a camera in the first place.
This is a series about why we love photography. Come be part of it and join us for this rare, art-charged opportunity to work alongside both creative photographers.
"I am absolutely delighted to be collaborating with Leanne again for this series. I have always been a huge admirer of her work and the incredible depth of emotion she brings to her images. It is rare to find a teaching partner who shares such a similar passion for the craft while having such a distinctly different visual style. Bringing her soulful, tactile approach together with my own focus on graphic light and street scenes is going to offer a fantastic balance. I really enjoy working with Leanne and I cannot wait to get started." - Mark Evans. -

The Photographer’s Calendar
Nov. 10 & Nov.17, 2026 | Santa Fe Workshops
ONLINE via Zoom
-
What happens when your photographs leave the screen and become part of everyday life? In this new online workshop, photographer Leanne Trivett S. explores the calendar as a creative format for sharing photographic work. More than a practical object, a calendar offers an opportunity to edit, sequence, and present a collection of images in a way that invites repeated viewing throughout the year.
Many photographers have hundreds or even thousands of photographs stored on hard drives and phones that rarely get revisited. This workshop creates a space for you to return to those archives with fresh eyes. Through guided editing and image selection, you identify photographs that belong together and consider how they build visual connections across months, seasons, themes, or personal narratives.
Open to all skill levels, including all alumni from any of Leanne’s workshops.

Student Reviews
One Of The Best Photography Workshops
The “Theatre of Botanicals" was one of the best photography workshops I have ever taken. It inspired me to see beyond the boundaries of my own photographic journey by incorporating emotional objects into my artwork and seeing my photographs in a completely new light. In addition to being an enthusiastic and accomplished photographer, Leanne is a gifted instructor who brought a wealth of resources to each class.

Evoke Emotion and Originality in Photography
I loved Leanne’s passion for creative artistry and her ability to inspire us to embrace new ways to evoke emotion and originality in our photography. Her learning environment and teaching style encouraged exploration, creativity and fun! I look forward to attending many more of Leanne’s workshops.

Eloquent and Lyrical Quality
Leanne is a kindred spirit. Her photography is art. A canvas which reflects her heart and soul through color and composition, layers and veils. Her musical theater background enhances her artistic expression by bringing an eloquent and lyrical quality to her work. As both a classmate and a student of Leanne’s, we share a passion for creative photography and abstract botanicals. I have been inspired by Leanne’s organic experimentation in the visual arts, by her approach to creating with a bold yet humble confidence, most importantly, by her warmth, kindness, and optimism. Leanne is a welcome bright light in the visual art world.
