OCTOBER 12, 2026
Hosted by Andre Brown
On October 12, Bokeh Academy is taking over Chicago for one full day of shooting, creating, learning, and building work that pushes your portfolio forward.
Whether photography is your full-time business, your side business, or something you are still growing into, this workshop is built to give you more opportunities to create the kind of images you want people to notice.
You’ll photograph professionally styled models across multiple concepts, with setups designed to give you variety, strong portfolio pieces, and the chance to work through new ideas in a hands-on environment.
If you have never experienced Bokeh before, Chicago is your chance to see what makes these events different.
If you have been part of Bokeh before, you already know the energy.
We’re bringing the Bokeh experience to Chicago. Come ready to shoot, network and leave with work that feels different from what you walked in with.
