A common passion for photography. It’s why you’re here. We’re so grateful you’ve come to visit…
If you’ve considered joining one of our Wanderlust Workshops or Content Days, then we’d love to share a few thoughts on our craft with you ♥
“to see” means to perceive with your eyes.
“to look” means to deliberately apply the ability to see.
“to watch” means to observe something deliberately. It is similar to “to look,” but it implies more effort. It means to look at something carefully.
As professionals – we must perfect our art of looking. We must become watchers.
And, when we watch…we must do so not only with our eyes. More importantly, with our hearts.
The term watchman is centuries old. It originally referred to a sentinel or guardian of the village. Is that not what we are? Guardians of memories? Masters of milestones. Visual writers of our time and culture.
What is a Wanderlust Workshop? It’s an event that will change the way you view the world.
It’s a group of photogs. Committed to improving their art, by capturing extraordinary, magical moments. Together ♥
This is your time to build:
- Content {For your web + social media}
- Relationships {With like minded colleagues. People you can turn to for friendship + support. Because after the emotional intensity of shooting, this business can feel lonely as we sit in solitude at our screens}
- Skills {Push your limits in new, controlled environments with two coaches to support you}
- Mentoring {We are your mentors for the day. Lean on us. Please, we’re here for you. And on other days too ♥}
- Industry Connections {Local vendors contribute the elements for each Wanderlust. You will have the opportunity to meet IRL or on-line as you feature their fabulous work}
As you approach each session or wedding what are you looking for?
| Emotion | Connections | Authenticity |
We are artists of light.
Use it wisely | Push your boundaries | Choose what you want to expose |
As a careful watcher, you will know when a scene is not working.
Don’t be afraid to stop | Never be afraid to change the direction of the session | You are in charge, and better to fumble for a moment then continue towards poor results |
| {also free the nipples 😉 as many of you know, Lacey is our editor and she shows what she wants 😉 } |
Composition.
Understand the rules | Well enough to break them | Purposefully select what should be part of your scene | And what should only be alluded to |
Location.
What is around you | Move, Move, Move | Utilize the beauty | You have chosen a space for a reason | Use it well |
Be a director.
Position people + all the fabulous creatures within your scene | Then let the moments flow |
Details.
| Always matter | They are the glue that holds the entirety |
It’s our duty + privilege to find beauty in all things.
| “Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.” —Khalil Gibran | Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it. Confucius | Find it, illuminate it |
Not everyone that attends a Wanderlust Workshop is a professional photog. Or desires to be. Some of you join to enhance your skills in capturing moments for yourself or your family. Some of you are aspiring towards a secondary source of income that will also provide an outlet for your creativity. We’re thrilled that you’re considering joining our WW party, for whatever your reasons are ♥
We’ll bring our pixie dust | We all need a time to sparkle | Hope to see you soon | xo
