“The more you know, the less you need”
This is the theme for my last year’s world tour. It is easy for us photographers to get caught up in the technology game – buying every wonderful piece of equipment that comes out. However, the best thing that we can do is to educate ourselves. As we strive to master our craft, we find that we can express our vision with the simplest of tools. I remember bringing a ton of equipment to a wedding in the beginning of my career but as I progressed in skill, the less I needed. I could use my environment around me to provide the tools for me that I never took advantage earlier in my career.
In a just a few months, I will be visiting CM Leung in Hong Kong and then jointly teach this photography workshop in China. The excitement from our SR US community is bursting at all sides and we just can’t wait to begin our new China adventure together. I am looking forward to also learning, growing and being the best mentor I can be. It is amazing how much I have learned over the past year and I have found that I had to revamp all my lectures which I believe are even better than before.
Join me and CM Leung to learn why mastering one’s ability to see light and to create it is essential to becoming a great photographer.
