Workshop FAQ

Good to know.

Is my equipment insured?
You're responsible for your own gear. We recommend it's covered by your home or travel insurance.
Can I give this workshop as a gift?
Yes. Gift vouchers are available for this workshop or for any amount.
Can I change my booking?
Payments are non-refundable, but you can transfer to another CapturEDU workshop within 12 months of the original date. Let us know in writing.
What if the weather is bad?
Soft, overcast light is often kinder to fur and feathers. If conditions make the session unsafe or unworkable, we'll move you to another date or transfer your booking.
