Series Introduction
This is it. We're in Portugal for a new workshop series about my favorite creators and this time I'm going to be a lot more behind the camera than in front. I'm gonna be watching, listening closely and doing interviews, Q and As, just asking a lot of questions for you. Look, I'm aware that I dunno everything and actually nobody does. My goal with this new format is to bring you a lot more value and knowledge so you can just become a better creator. There's dozens of people in the world that I admire for their craft and I'm gonna be reaching out one by one to them and just putting the spotlight on their work throughout with this new series. And to be honest, making these workshops is one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done, seriously, because helping, you helping people move forward brings a lot of joy to my process. And I love taking photos, I'll always do that, but the other side of the spectrum, like putting the spotlight other people is really exciting to me and I can't wai...
t for you to discover what we have in store for you. This workshops are the best way I've found to bring you the hows and the whys behind the work of my favorite creators with the only goal that we can just both learn from them. This is the brand new ever first episode of this new workshop series and I'm super excited. So this is Finn Beales and welcome to this workshop.

Brent Morris
Fantastic My thoughts on the storytelling workshop. The short is; it’s fantastic. The long is I loved all the details covered, from shot types and the ideas behind them to the call sheets and shot lists, and the whole process. I felt like I had a better understanding of how to schedule a professional shoot and I really felt like I had a much better grasp on many ideas and concepts, and I believe I’ve been able to improve my photography with them, so thank you and Finn. It really is fantastic.

A path to better stories Very happy I got this workshop. Finn and Alex do a great job at teaching highly useful methods and specific advice to help you improve your own work, and more importantly, tell better stories that are meaningful to you.

Simply the best This is simply the best workshop out there on photography and storytelling. Finn is awe inspiring and so real and authentic. A pleasure to watch, a joy to learn from such master. I really hope a volume 2 is coming soon! Thank you for this one!
