So here is the deal.. What you are in for is a mind blowing experience that will resonate for a life time. There is so much to it.. What I am about to say is just ... my opinion.. my experience.. you will have your own unique story to tell.... EAW is about building relationships with fellow photographers, editors, and other folks in our biz. You are entering a community of like minded people who really want to help you, not only over the weekend, but through your career . There will be lectures from top notch photographers.. , panel discussion by groups, like stock companies and agencies.. One on one critiques/reviews of your work.. Demos from the sponsors.. like profoto, and Nikon.. And of course you will be go into the field Sat and sunday and shoot.. Chris R. our producer.. Is working on an assignment /subject for each member of our yellow team.. Our topic is "drugs". We are telling that story in 7-12 pictures here..... This is where the fun is.. Jose Azel our editor and other team members will discuss your strengths and weakness. You will take these comments into your 2nd day of shooting.
Now listen up fools! Some teams and team leaders are mad competitive, but this isn't how we run the yellow team.. The shooting you do at the farm is important.. You need to push and challenge yourselves to do your best.... However, the pictures you will make are but a small part of the entire weekend's process.. I have seen students suffer because they become way too attached to the pictures and frustrations in shooting.. Unsatisfied and self absorbed they loose sight of all the other magnificent things that are going on around them.. THIS IS NOT WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.. I am into the idea that developing your vision and path as a photographer is a journey and not a race. Ironically, people who struggle in their shooting at the workshop seem to learn the most.. I am really into the idea of working as a team and coming together as a unit. Oneness....
lock and load!
