My philosophy for photography has always been having fun & capturing moments and pushing hard to be a better photographer. Self improvement was necessary thus I enrolled. Frankly, the conference was one of the best I did for myself and what I learned was invaluable.
The venue were at Hardrock Cafe, Kuta. The speakers are Huy Nguyen, Julian Abram Wainwright, Sergio, Ryan Brenizer, Erwin Darmali, Erin & Ben Chrisman. These are very talented & egoless photographers and each have different approach to wedding photography and their business. We all have one thing in common which is "A STORYTELLER". Across the 2 day conference, each speakers offered valuable insight & tips which I can take on and work it out for my own. They are lots to write but I can't put them in words to describe them. I think that you should seriously go to this fearless conference personally.
Here are few highlights in no particular order :-
"There's no SUBMIT to go to, its an open space" #Sergio
"Don't try to be the BEST, try to STAND OUT" #Ryan Brenizer
"Photography is not a "gift", anyone can become a really good photographer with HARDWORK & DEDICATION" # Huy Nguyen
"Be a passionate photographer but a DISPASSIONATE EDITOR" #Julian Abram Wainwright
Julian asked his mother what her wedding photos meant to her, her answer has been what I always believe in. See below :-
"A wedding picture is more than a record of a joyous event - its an image filled with happiness and sometimes regret that some loved ones who witnessed and shared the occation are no longer with us. It is a family time capsule. It is onlt as we grow older that we look at these images anew with a sense of fleeting time - the time that has passed and the time ahead. Yet the joy of the occasion is the constant that remians with us forever. - Frances Wainwright"
"Safe & Normal is the ENERMY of Creativity" #Erwin Darmali
"Practice every single day just so you don't get RUSTED" # Erin & Ben Chrisman
"Finding your VISION is finding out what you LOVE about the WORLD and showing it. It's that simple" #Erin & Ben Chrisman.
