Benjamin's Workshop Introduction

(wind whooshing) Welcome to the workshop and welcome to our studio space where we're going to be conducting pretty much everything that is not outside in the freezing cold. I'm really honored to be here and so grateful that Alex has, you know, created this setting upon which I can dive deep into what I've learned over the last few years as a photographer. From moving to a foreign country and establishing myself as a photographer, finding my kind of unique vision and building my own brand. That is really the crux of this workshop. And there's so many things to cover. I'm really excited for it. And breaking down the things that we're going to look at in this workshop, we really have these core principles of finding kind of a minimalistic style in your photography or in your craft and the ways that we can get there. You know, we're gonna be looking at how to find negative space in your images, how to isolate your subject when you're out there in the field. Through that, we have this con...

cept of curation, something that is super important for my work. There's many layers to this. There's so many small things that we have to assess to get to a final piece of this unified cohesion in our images. We're going to look at creative editing and using Lightroom and Photoshop sometimes to really go beyond the bounds of your camera and bring out your inner interpretation, the way that you visualized a scene when you were there, how we can kind of expel that onto the image through post-processing. So with all that said, let's just jump right into this. We've got a lot to cover. It's gonna be awesome fun.

Very Informative & Awe Inspiring Both Benjamin and Alex have played huge roles in my photographic style development over the years and it is great to hear first hand exactly what inspires and drives Ben to keep pushing his creative boundaries. Personally, I love his minimalist approach and it was super insightful to watch him explain how he developed that style and how he actively produces photographs in a cohesive manner. 10/10 recommend this workshop to anyone looking for a very unique and profound perspective with the intent of expanding your creative horizons.

Moving to Iceland now...? Loved this workshop! I really liked the way the modules are split up, and the way you watch Benjamin go out on location for a shot, then immediately sit down and watch his editing process for that specific shot. So much editing to learn too, since he doesn't use presets! The workbook is also super thorough, so printing it out allowed me to pay close attention and just add little notes here and there. The Iceland road guide is also SO helpful and in depth. Can't wait to use it. Also loved that Ben talked about printing your own work. Would be cool to maybe see something from Wildist in the future that goes even more into depth on that (calibrating your own printer, working with a print shop, dropship sites, etc.) Awesome course. Thanks, Hardman.

First Workshop The first workshop I have ever purchased. I've always been hesitant to invest in a workshop, however this went above and beyond my expectations. Fluid in progression, great insight and a super relaxed learning curve full of information. I feel this has prepared me to take my own personal photographic journey to the next level. Executed to perfection. Nice work guys! 10/10 recommended.
