Welcome to Karlisch Workshops

Led by renowned interior photographer Stephen Karlisch, alongside his business partner Kristen Karlisch, our workshops and courses have become a trusted source of education and mentorship for those looking to master high-level editorial style interior photography.


Over the years, we’ve helped natural light photographers, real estate photographers refine their approach, wedding and portrait photographers pivot into interiors, architectural photographers deepen their craft and even commercial and interior design firms train their in-house teams. Our students have gone on to elevate their skills, attract the clients they truly want, get published, and grow profitable, sustainable businesses.


We offer a proven three-step learning journey to help photographers at any stage: Start with our on-line Foundational Lighting Course to build strong technical confidence. Then, attend our Lighting, Composition & Workflow Workshop, where students learn through live demonstrations and guided instruction. Finally, apply for our Advanced Workshop, an immersive, participant-driven experience where you'll shoot, receive personal coaching from Stephen, and learn to push your creative and technical abilities to

stand out in a competitive market.


Because we offer only a limited number of in-person workshops each year, spots fill quickly.

We notify our waitlist first when new dates are released.


All workshop participants gain access to our private, invite-only community, where members are

comparing rates across markets, finding assistants sharing real-world business advice, and benefiting from

bonus coaching and special guest sessions. This community continues to be a powerful source of growth, connection, and support.


We take pride in the quality of our education, the integrity of our teaching, and the warm, welcoming culture

that defines our platform. Whether you're just beginning or evolving your career, we invite you to join us and build a path toward a

creatively fulfilling, financially rewarding future in editorial style interior photography.
