I spent all of last week near Brisbane, Australia with my good friend Jonas Peterson. I initially planned on heading down under to have a bit of a break from the busy season I had, to recuperate & to enjoy time with friends.
-
Jonas & I got to talking a bit about putting together a workshop while I was in town and within a few days after our initial discussion we launched the registration and were sold out within a few hours- This blows my mind. I’m always shocked at the talent level of photographers that come to learn from me & my friends. I was humbled by our attendees and so happy to have made new friends. I walked away gaining so much from this experience myself, maybe more than the guests. I absolutely love sharing with other passionate & creative people, I am so thankful for my work & the fact I get to do something I love.
-
Thank you new friends.

Some technical stuff. The above frames were from our demo shoot during the workshop. You should have seen me in that heat & humidity. Someone as myself from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States kinda melts on an Australian summer day.
I used VSCO FILM on all of the above frames. HP5+ & Portra 800.

Samm & Dan. If you don’t know them you should. They guest spoke for Jonas & I. Their passion for their craft & art is apparent right off the bat, it’s inspiring to say the least. They truly blew me away with the presentation they shared.
-
I had an absolute blast everyone. Thank you so much.

In Jonas’ words. “Can we do it again?”

Yup, was awesome times. Thought you were going to get your first glimpse of one of Australia’s many poisonous creatures as we trudged through the long grass at the shoot though! Learnt so much, met great creative peeps, drank a bit, was fed well, changed my outlook – not bad for a couple of days. Your images look ace.

seeing your version of the session next to jonas was fascinating. it holds the same apeal as the old mammoth trips , and shows once again that style is so much more than a set of tools or presets . . .
by jennifer armstrong
yes… how about somewhere closer to your home next time? Would SO LOVE the chance to participate in a workshop like this. Inspiring just to hear about it & see some of your frames. Great happiness to all of you who had the opportunity to participate. Woot, woot.
