Also would have loved to attend your workshop (did actually check flight tickets) but too expensive unfortunately; hopefully next time 😮‍💨

I’m almost shocked to find out that all your medium format portraits are taken on tripod! I’m always afraid that doing that will take too much time that the “moment” would have past me by, but this approach seems beautiful and intentional 🩷

This :

"Instead, I learned that investing your time wisely in training your eye to see better, and to see different, has a significantly higher return on your journey to finding your own style. The power of observation, your ability to have a profound sensitivity to light, your understanding of the meaning of certain moments and your intuitive emotional response to them, as well as the cultivation of your cognitive reflex to recognising form and composition will all lead the way towards defining your own style.

This whole intellectual pursuit is what will give you better images, better edits, better stories. Any form of technology is secondary to that."

Would be very interested to have some "tips" or kind of a "daily drill" to exercise this...
