Staying Inspired
How to stay inspired in running a photography business. I think no matter how hard the shoot is, no matter how complex the task or how crazy the weather is, I always like to remember the fact that I'm outdoors, I'm in a beautiful place doing photography, the thing that has been a hobby for so long and something that I'm extremely passionate about. And just by taking a few minutes to step back, look around, look at your camera, appreciate your camera, appreciate the landscape, and then get back into the send it mode of whatever shoot you're doing, it really just keeps me composed and keeps me fueled and ready to continue what I'm doing on that given day. If you can do that, too, I think it'll just add a little bit of fulfillment to some of those harder times 'cause we all have them and really just help you push to the next level in what you're doing.

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.
