General Information

For the first time ever, IPS will be hosting workshops in the Rocky Mountains! Based at the Summit Ministries campus in Manitou Springs, CO, we will be at the foot of Pike's Peak and minutes away from the Garden of the Gods! Full of breath-taking scenery and practical instruction, this is one photography workshop you will not want to miss.

Instructors Mandy Novotny, Christina Dickson, Katie Miller, and Rowan Gillson will join in providing a wide variety of experience and practical insight during workshop lectures and photo reviews.

Katie Miller is our portraiture and travel expert. Katie frequently travels overseas, photographing the fingerprints of God's creation in countries such as Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Peru, Taiwan, New Zealand, Switzerland and Italy. She is also a well-established portrait and wedding photographer in her hometown, and has been operating her own studio for the past ten years.

Mandy Novotny is our digital guru. Combining her extensive international photography experiences with digital processing, re-touching, and design skills, she provides practical tips and tricks for turning your images into works of art.

Rowan Gillson is our missions, travel, and landscape guru. Throughout the past 10 years, Rowan has shot hundreds of thousands of images in 18 different countries. His work has been published in newspapers in the United States, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and New Zealand. Several books, including Minnesota 24/7 and Illinois 24/7, feature Rowan's images. For many years his passion has been challenging young people to experience a dynamic relationship with God that impacts every area of their lives. His love of photography and passion for young people have been merged into a pursuit of God that is changing the world.
