Every year I set aside some time and money to learn from great photographers whom I admire. I think it is just so important to examine our own work and continuously strive to be better and elevate our art. I had that perfect opportunity this past week when I drove to Houston to attend Fer Juaristi’s Fershop.
IT.WAS.AWESOME. I mean, I always wanted to take his workshop because I think he is a light genius… no a light NINJA! He is able to see light in such a special way and then transform it to make KILLER portraits. However, the workshop surpassed even my high expectations! Fer has to be one of the most genuine, honest, and friendly people who was also so willing to share his passion and ideas. Now I’ve taken plenty of workshops the past few years, but this had to be one of best ones I’ve taken so far. I came away just incredibly inspired to look at light and portraits in a whole another way. I loved that Fer doesn’t take any limitations or any preconceived expectations and just makes it work! Making a brilliant piece of art is his number one priority every time, no matter what!
I just LOVED the images I came away from the workshop. Now Fer’s and my own photography style are COMPLETELY different, however I can’t wait to try to incorporate what I’ve learned and adapt it to my own work. I seriously can’t wait.
In true Fer style: image are posted out of order : )
