If you have never heard of Barb Uil or ‘Jinky Art’ you MUST MUST do yourself a favour and head over to Jinky Art and have a very very long browse through the wonderful images that your eyes will love and thank you for!
I was so fortunate to be able to spend 3 days with Barb, her family and her wonderful team earlier this year for a workshop she held in the rolling green hills of Maleny. My previous workshops I’d attended were mainly from a business point of view but this time around I wanted to enrol as a treat to myself; you know, to get those creative juices flowing and to find inspiration and touch on a more creative side to my photography.
And yes, it did just that 🙂 After 3 days of giving my eyes, my ears and my heart to Barb; not only did I walk away with a belly full of inspiration, but also some lovely friendships that were made over the course of the workshop. Anyone who knows me well, knows I can be a bit of a rascal when I want to be (after all, I did say this was a treat for myself and sometimes my professional hat was not always on!) and there were many many laughs that took place. You remember back in the good old school days when you know you should be being good but suddenly a giggling fit throws itself upon you? And you’re trying your damn hardest to hold in hysterical laughter by looking at your feet and trying not to make any eye contact with any other naughty students (not to mention any names… Sonnie and Alicia)? Yep, that’s the kind of fun I had (so immature, but oh so fun!!).
And the models! The models!!! Every.single.one = GORGEOUS! We were soooo spoilt with all our lovely families that came to model for us. Throw in some little lambs, a horse, pink fairy floss, tea parties and a magical location with the most divine sunsets ever… YUP, photographers heaven I tell you!
What a wonderful 3 days that I still smile about when I think it about it 🙂 A big thank you to Barb and your team and a big shout out to all the lovely ladies who also attended the workshop and who I am now lucky enough to call friends 🙂 x
Ok, enough rambling. Here’s a little peek of what we got up to while attending. Enjoy and thanks for reading xo
