**PHOTO WALK TOUR •**

11AM - 6PM

To my understanding, the photo walk shouldn't be too much about learning secrets, clue & hints that the lecturer has. It should be more about helping & finding solutions for struggles, puzzles & issues that each individual has and ultimately push boundaries to become a stronger spontaneous and responsive photographer creating the compelling images throughout the key stages of the wedding day or any event. We all can do a great job on pre-wedding shoot, engagement shoot & etc. where we have a good control on, but the wedding day is different. It is really hard to keep ourselves readily available to capture the right moment from the right angle with right composition, color arrangement, framing, layering & etc...

My goal is to become a better mentor tailored to each individual to fulfill their immediate needs, help them escaping from any fear, struggles and frustrations, and ultimately help them become a stronger, effective, efficient & more responsive storyteller with confidence always loaded. Moreover, I am trying to design the mentor sessions prevailing the stale group workshops based on my experience and discussions I had with other individuals who attended other workshops.

This one day photo walk and editing to inspire and to help each individual will be perhaps tough and not enough. I have talked to many people who have attended all levels of workshops & classes... I have learned lots of pros and cons, and I don't expect mine to be near their quality of teaching, however, I will do my best to listen to each individual to help them pulling their fear on their work reviewed by giving a constructive critique at my best and help them providing ideas and clues to move on.

I will do my best to help each individual with poignant critique on their current mundane perspective, stagnant thinking process and ineffective responsiveness.

I will also share my workflow using the photos we take from the photo walk. It is more about becoming more authentic and original to their craft and ultimately become a photographer who can stand out better in the saturated industry by fine tuning their craft and solving some puzzles that each individual has.
