A minimum deposit (or full tuition in some cases such as 1- and 3-day workshops) is required to hold your place on the workshop. Any discounts or scholarships will be applied at the time of the final payment, not when the deposit is made. Final payment is due no later than 90 days prior to the course start date listed above.

Each course is limited to a finite number of participants and should the occasion arise if a participant must be waitlisted after paying a deposit due to an error by our third party registration providers, we will notify you of this immediately and refund any tuition paid accordingly.

Momenta Group LLC reserves the right to cancel a reservation if full payment has not been received by 90 days prior to departure and all attempts to reach the registrant based on their email and telephone number given at registration have failed. For reservations made within 90 days of the departure date, full payment is required when the reservation is accepted.

Should you choose to cancel your registration, the following terms apply:

• All cancellation notices must be received in writing via email and must be confirmed receipt by a Momenta staff member. Such cancellations will become effective as of the date of the postmark or email receipt.

• If you cancel 120 days or more prior to departure, a refund will be issued minus an administrative fee of $600 (which covers the payment processing, banking, credit card, and registration fees we incur on our end for each person who registers). Per person charges for cancellations that occur less than 120 days prior to departure are as follows:

• Cancellations that occur less than 120 days prior to departure are as follows:

• 119-60 days prior to departure: you will forfeit 100% of your deposit;

• 44 or fewer days prior to departure: you will forfeit 100% of the educational course cost and any Customer Add-On services without exception.

Should you request a transfer instead of canceling your registration, the following terms apply:

• You can transfer your registration once only and it must be done prior to 45 days in advance of the workshop.

• The workshop you select for a transfer must be in 12 months from the date of cancellation.

• A transfer without penalty can only happen prior to 120 days before your workshop’s start date.

• Between 119-45 days to the workshop, a transfer of your tuition may occur but will forfeit your deposit in full and remaining payments can be applied to your new workshop tuition or as a client credit.

• Request to transfer 45 or fewer days from departure from your original workshop will not be accepted and you will lose all tuition monies paid to date.

• Should you again cancel your new registration for the chosen transfer workshop, you will forfeit all deposits and payments to date and may be charged the additional cancellation fees above, depending on the date and circumstances of your cancellation.

All refunds are made via the original credit card given at the time of registration or via check to the name and address given at the time of registration. Momenta will attempt to process your credit card but if the card has expired or the refund is rejected for another reason, Momenta will mail a check to the registrant. Momenta Group LLC is not responsible for delayed refunds if you have moved from your address used at the time of registration and you did not inform our staff of your change of address. Refund checks are processed on the 1st or 3rd week of every month and are mailed via USPS regular postage and typically take 7-10 business days on average to arrive by mail at minimum but is completely at the whim of the post office delivery schedule.

We recommend travel insurance for any trip. In today’s day and age of increasing flight cancellations or surprise weather events, it never hurts to have a back up plan. Plus, most travel insurance covers things like lost luggage, medical needs on location, etc. We prefer Travel Insure for our staff insurance during our overseas and longer trips.

We don't refer to Momenta Group as a family for no reason. Momenta is a movement, not a bunch of master classes. We're a group with a common passion, teaching everyone to tell stories and share ideas with the world. 

Approximately half of our instructors and mentors come from professional media backgrounds. A significant portion these have either been a client of our training programs, or started out doing portfolio reviews, virtual coaching or contract work for Momenta Creative. 

• We prefer instructors to have some background in mentorship or teaching first, but we also train aggressively. 

• Prior exposure to Momenta learning programs is a big plus, as we have a fairly unique method behind the scenes.

• We lean towards instructors still in the active portion of their career, with ongoing projects in progress. 

Again, we're less interested in notoriety and fame, than we are interested in selecting the talented and empathic teachers who are still passionate about photography and video production. 

Contact our staff today with a LinkedIn page or resume and set up a time to talk about your interests in teaching. Our door is open to passionate photographers who want to make a difference.

Plenty! First, we have a very low attendee to faculty ratio. You won’t have to worry about fighting for face time with an instructor. Second, we believe in one-on-one daily editing with our students in periods between shoots. We don’t just go over a few “best of” selections. We look at your whole day’s work to find insights on how you can improve and areas where you are excelling. We know our trips are intensely learning-driven, but we mean for them to be.

Our goal is to help each attendee become an even better visual storyteller, regardless of where you are in your creative journey. We throw everything we have into each workshop. Because of our personalized attention to detail and learning, many attendees come back multiple times to keep improving their skills year after year.

Our dedicated faculty will help you hone all your creative skills whether you need to work on the basics or you want to discuss how to get your work published. From the very popular welcome bags or the personal editing sessions, we strive to be the best workshop you will ever experience.
