Private Workshop (ctd)

Younes — Tue, 08 May 2012 13:00:05 +0000

Last week, I showed you some of the quick snapshots I made while teaching a private workshop recently. As I hinted then, Stephane generously agreed to allow me to showcase his images from the two outings…Stephane wanted to work on developing his compositional skills and the famous “eye” (or learn how to see in human speak). We agreed to do it in two seemingly distinct (yet not that different) settings: nature and the city. Part of me really wonders if he really needed me at all…he seemed to be doing just fine on his own. I think I’ll just let his photos do the talking…

Private workshop

I had the pleasure to host Stephane, who drove in from Montreal to take a private, custom-tailored workshop over the week-end. As per Stephane’s wishes, the workshop was a bit of a “surf and turf”: a bit of nature, a bit of urban photography. The weather wasn’t particularly pleasant, with a cold northern wind blowing pretty much along, but Stephane was a good sport and soldiered on for a unique experience. It was for me the occasion to re-visit some familiar friends, for him, the opportunity to discover a new area with a different set of eyes (not as creepy as it may sound ).

Here are some of the images I made while showing him these places. I will be posting some of his soon (provided he wants to ).

Morocco Adventure 2011 Redux

Younes — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 13:00:25 +0000

I’ve been wanting to give you a glimpse of what my Morocco Adventures look like. But not through my eyes. Rather, through the eyes of my participants and new friends. Stephanie and Michelle have kindly agreed to share their favorite images with you. For me it’s always exciting to see what different people see in the same scene. And this is no different. We were all standing in the same places at the same time, yet we each have completely different images to show for it. Today, we will start with Stephanie’s images. Michelle’s will be up tomorrow! Please show your support to these two brave ladies .

You can join me on a new Moroccan Adventure in May 2012. Click here for more information.
