The Joy of Photography Workshop

Description:

In a world filled with noise, speed, and constant change, photography offers something rare the ability to slow down, observe, and truly see.

Join Emmy® Award-winning photographer and filmmaker Jim Stone for an inspiring and hands-on evening focused on rediscovering the joy of photography. Whether you are just beginning or have been shooting for years, this workshop is designed to reconnect you with the creative spark that made you pick up a camera in the first place.

This is not about gear or presets. It is about vision, intention, and the simple but powerful act of creating meaningful images.
