I am definitely in favour of process rather than result. I like story behind it, context. Without it I have to create the story by myself and that can be cool, but again - not real thing:)
I thing the workshop is and excellent idea. I can see yourself working with people, you seem to be extremely patient, and you have way with words.
And beard, beard is awesome, project mystery and wisdom. That will work!
Workshop en plain air.
Lighting gear, cameras, humans, a white board with red string connecting all my favourite artists together, along with other concepts.
Sounds like an ideal day out in the woods
I am totally digging it, honestly.
Just share golden hour with other maniacs, wouldn't be nice?
Any hour is golden hour when you have a strobe and a gold reflector
