What an incredible few weeks it has been. It is still not over by any means but I thought I should give you an update about our trip to Europe. We started off in London, which as usual greeted us with almost equal doses of rain and sunshine. We wandered around this incredible city for three days with no strings attached but certainly attached to our XF. When we travel we usually have a rough idea of where we want to photograph but we try to avoid making detailed plans.
Then we headed to Barcelona where I worked on my imagery for a few days. We approached this lively city without any preconceived ideas or even without must-shoot locations.
We found some visuals incredibly stimulating while others we just skipped as we had no intention of producing me-too work. Here is a sample of images that will be on our blog in the next few weeks. There is no question that the highlight of our trip to Barcelona was a private workshop with the intriguing and talented Robert.
We wandered around the streets of Barcelona but we also took risks and challenged ourselves to capture some well-known locations in our own way stay tuned for more details. Sometimes all it takes for some students is to break through their block, which can be caused by numerous factors.
After working with Robert for a few hours, he started producing strong and emotionally-charged imagery. I was really stunned by his ability to take visual risks. More importantly, the highly personal way he arrived at some visuals was admirable. I will share his imagery with you in a separate post and you can see what I am talking about.
