Reviews:
“I felt every word of this workshop down to my bones. Joni’s words are heartfelt and full of passion for life, embracing the moment for all it is. It is so easy to get wrapped up in superficial distractions, we forget why we were inspired to pick up our camera in the first place and that there is simple beauty surrounding us everyday. Joni shows you how to get away from the distractions and back to your core. With the help of the workshop exercises and insight into her process she helps you to uncover and capture the raw beauty of life. This workshop is a must read that will change the way you see and shoot!”
“Joni’s workshop asks you to look at what is important to you in your life. Not what is surrounding it, the conditions, or environment, but what precisely and you seeing in that moment that catches your eye. This workbook is filled with amazing imagery from settings in every day life – but shown in a way that take them all above and beyond the average glimpse into another’s life. With this she provides you tips, tricks and suggestions to incorporate into capturing your own imagery – raw , real and simplified to exactly what that moment is.”
“This workshop is for anyone who wishes to step back and reevaluate why they came to love photography in the first place, come boldly into their style, and shoot their chosen subject matter freely and purposefully. So quick are we to get caught up in all the busyness and distractions of life and even the photography industry in itself. Thank you Joni, for the reminder to slow down and really see the beauty that is right before our eyes.”
“While reading Joni´s workbook everything suddenly seemed crystal clear and obvious: composition, light, color, even “posed“ photos. Of course, when taking a photo of her daughter throwing a balloon in the air, she has to cut her legs in order to show the ceiling of the room. A photo of her son lying in a patch of light is not one of the typical “child in light patch“ photos, it is 100 percent hers. Because she focuses on the essence of this moment instead of a concept, as well as her photos, Joni´s writing is relaxed and precise at the same time. She encourages the reader to get rid of theory and just focus on what matters. Her images show that she shoots with her heart and this workshop leads the reader to do the same. It definitely helps with freeing from distractions!”
“Joni’s literary words and advice, that go alongside her unique and inspiring imagery, is really something I can dive into over and over again. She teaches you to let go a bit, by bringing you into her nostalgic world of beautiful childhood and family. She takes a deeper look – in a variety of ways – into the ordinary, and explains honesty & light with grace. I thoroughly enjoyed all of it!”
