Welcome to

The Lombok Immersion: Storytelling on Sacred Ground

This Is Not Just a Photography Workshop

It’s a reckoning.

A return.
A realignment with why you ever picked up the camera in the first place.

You didn’t come here to play it safe.
To skim the surface.
To slap a sepia filter over the same story told a thousand times.

You’re here because something in you is restless.
Because you’re done with the trend cycle and tired of calling "raw" what’s really just rebranded fluff.

You’re ready for something deeper.

This isn’t a content shoot.
It’s not a styled workshop hiding behind aesthetics.

It’s an experience that places you inside real family homes, within the pulse of village life, and asks you to witness, REALLY witness, the lives unfolding in front of you.

You’ll photograph barefooted kids chasing roosters down dirt roads.

You’ll be hit in the guts with expressions that have never touched your eyes before.
You’ll listen. Observe. Be humbled.

You’ll unlearn the shortcut version of storytelling you’ve been taught.
And then you’ll relearn how to tell the stories that matter.

the cold hard truth is…

We’ve all been part of the problem.

We’ve used “real” as a caption, while clinging to what’s palatable.
We’ve posted skin and called it vulnerability.
We’ve danced around the edge of truth because going deeper felt… hard. Exposing. Confronting.

But the deeper you go, the more powerful your art becomes. The more your truth stands out…
And it’s time to go all the way in.

WHAT YOU WILL WALK AWAY WITH:

The tools to tell stories with weight, the kind that linger in someone’s gut long after they’ve left your feed.
A body of work shot in real time, with real people, not curated scenes.
New language for your brand and work with peircing messaging and legacy.
A creative reset that hits like therapy but births your next era as an artist.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

Photographers who know they’re sitting on something massive but feel stuck in the loop.

Artists sick of the echo chamber of “raw and real” that barely scratches the surface.

Storytellers who want to dismantle the embellished family photo narrative and build something that actually honoUrs womanhood, motherhood, and human truth.

THE ART OF CONNECTION

BONUS DELICIOUS PARTS

The Art of Connection: Storytelling as Marketing

You are an artist.
But you’re more than that.
You’re a storyteller. A weaver of memory, emotion, and truth.

And here’s the part no one tells you…

Storytelling is the most potent business tool you will ever hold.

Not the algorithm.
Not the trends.
Not the perfectly curated grid.

Your story is what sells.
Because your story is what connects.

As a photographer, you already know how to capture emotion. How to see people, not just shoot them.
You know how to pause a moment that might’ve gone unnoticed and make it eternal.
Now imagine channeling that same energy into your marketing.

This bonus part of the workshop cracks open the link between storytelling and selling…

how to move beyond the surface, and start creating resonance in the way you share, write, and invite.

Because marketing, at its core, is not about convincing.
It’s about remembering.
who you are,
why you create,
and how your art touches the human experience.

It’s the same magic behind a photo that makes someone cry.
It’s the same pull that makes someone whisper,
"This feels like me."

Inside this part of the workshop, we will unravel:

Why story is the deepest channel to your people’s hearts
How to write in a way that leaves a sensory imprint
The shift from pain point selling to soul led connecting
Language that lands not with strategy, but with soul

You were never meant to sell like everyone else.
You were meant to connect.
To move people.
To turn art into a bridge.

This is your permission to come home to the kind of marketing that actually feels good.
Where your truth becomes the offer.
Where your story becomes the strategy.
Where your art becomes the invitation.

The Art of Connection is more than a bonus.
It’s the unlock.
