Workshop | Sydney

On February 8th, 2025, I had the pleasure of hosting my second photography workshop at Lunar Studios in Sydney, Australia and it was an absolutely fantastic day!  The studio was the perfect backdrop for a day of hands-on learning, creativity, and passion for photography.  From the beautiful space to the talented photographers and my amazing model Abbie, everything came together to make this workshop one to remember.

We had the chance to dive into a variety of topics, covering everything from the technical side of shooting to the business of photography.  We discussed preproduction, post-production and how to foster your creativity in today’s ever-changing world of photography.  It was incredible to see everyone engaged and eager to learn.  I had so much fun sharing the knowledge I’ve gathered over my 50+ years of experience behind the camera.

Of course, no workshop would be complete without some storytelling and I took every opportunity to share stories from my own journey in the photography world.  Each shot, each challenge and each triumph has shaped me into the photographer I am today — and it was a privilege to pass along those lessons to the attendees.

A major highlight of the day was having the chance to shoot alongside the group with my model Abbie.  Not only did we shoot in the studio, but we also ventured outside on location to explore different environments and how to adapt to various lighting and settings.  Watching everyone grow as photographers as they tried out new techniques was incredibly rewarding.

The atmosphere was collaborative, supportive, and full of energy.  The best part?  Realizing that I’m not alone in this photography life — and neither are any of the attendees.  The passion we share for photography and the stories it tells is something truly special and seeing everyone so engaged and inspired was a powerful reminder of why I love teaching.

A huge thank you to Lunar Studios for hosting and supporting me in Sydney.  Their studios are incredible, and without their generosity, these workshops wouldn’t be possible.  I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to share this experience in such a fantastic environment.

Also, a big thanks to EVERYONE who showed up. Your enthusiasm and willingness to learn made this workshop so enjoyable. I hope you all walked away with something that will help you grow in your own photography journey.

I can’t wait to see where your photography life takes you and I’m already looking forward to the next workshop!
