Photography workshops are exciting, but they can also be a huge investment, both in money and time. For many participants, it’s a first and last experience, and if you’re not careful, you could walk away frustrated, disappointed, and with little to show for it. The market is crowded, and everyone from social media influencers to renowned photographers claims they can teach. But how do you separate true education from marketing hype?

Todd Hido is not a street photographer in the traditional sense. His work often turns toward landscapes, interiors, and portraits, but what I have learned from him goes far beyond genre. His photographs are filled with atmosphere, memory, and emotion. Looking at them reminds me that photography is not just about what we see, but about how we feel and what we carry inside of us.

Robert Capa is often remembered as the greatest war photographer of all time. His photographs of the Spanish Civil War, D-Day in Normandy, and conflicts across Europe and Asia have become part of our collective memory of the 20th century. He lived fast, took risks, and ultimately gave his life while photographing war.

Kiarostami wasn’t just a photographer. He was a poet with a camera, a traveler with sharp eyes, and a man who turned light into truth. His photos danced between humour and heaviness, optimism and critique, beauty and brutality.

For too long, history books made photography sound like a boys’ club. But that was never true. Some of the most daring, poetic, and unforgettable images came from women who refused to wait for permission.

Let’s be honest, at every gallery or photo exhibition, there’s always that person casually name-dropping famous photographers. You nod politely, but inside you’re thinking: “Who on earth are they talking about?” But here’s the danger: admiration can easily turn into worship. And when you worship another photographer, you stop being yourself.

Why look back when the world is rushing forward? Because the past often sees more clearly than the present. The masters of photography may be gone, but their images remain alive and they still have lessons for us. But here’s the danger: admiration can easily turn into worship. And when you worship another photographer, you stop being yourself.

At some point, every photographer discovers the “masters”, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Josef Koudelka, Richard Avedon, Diane Arbus, and the rest. Their work inspires us, challenges us, and often overwhelms us. But here’s the danger: admiration can easily turn into worship. And when you worship another photographer, you stop being yourself.
