Shortstache – Storytellers Workshop

STORYTELLERS WORKSHOP

This workshop is for anyone and everyone. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to land that next client, my in-the-field process will help you to take your work to the next level. With over 3 hours of instructional videos, you will be walked through several scenarios that are carefully broken down to demonstrate how I approach telling each story.

This workshop shows the organic and raw side of storytelling that highlights the normal. This is real. This is what it’s all about. This is not some escape to a magical country, nor is it on a yacht somewhere put together. Every scenario is in everyday realistic situations. This is the core of photography and how to tackle your game plan and execute. This workshop is for you.

INCLUDES OVER 3 HOURS OF INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS
