VPW selected this $25 Million property in West Vancouver as one of the exclusive locations for the Ralph Gibson Workshop. As Ralph Gibson put it to his students: "Don't get used to this folks, no other company will go to such lengths to deliver value for its students".

This is the front view of the West Vancouver property. Before VPW used it to hold the Ralph Gibson Workshop, U2 stayed here while on tour in Vancouver. This mansion offerred rare and exlusive shooting opportunities and the day ended with a catered dinner enjoyed by the entire group.

Stay tuned for VPW's upcoming Master Photographer Workshop announcement for 2007. We are commited to bringing you the most exclusive and rare opportunities right to your doorstep in Vancouver. The most beautiful city in the world just became an even more exciting photography destination!
