Learn vital lessons in photography with Jonas Bendiksen

Across 18 in-depth lessons, award-winning photographer Jonas Bendiksen imparts the vital lessons learned over a 20+ year career

Delving into a wide range of subjects, Bendiksen explores the inspiration found in a restless attitude to making photographs—as well as the nitty-gritty details of the craft, and shares valuable insights and advice on generating ideas, storytelling techniques, and developing long-term documentary projects.

Spanning more than six and a half hours of material, the photographer unpacks his experiences making his critically acclaimed long-form personal projects, and invites students behind the curtain of his practice, sharing demonstrations on editing workflows and proposal writing, as well as providing a host of practical advice on everything from working in the field to the steps involved in creating a photobook.

The comments about “what did I just watch” and “is this a lesson or..?” remind me of students who were expecting a bullet point list of EXACTLY WHAT TO DO AND WHEN TO DO IT OVER AND OVER LIKE A MACHINE. That isn’t how you learn anything useful in life.

Being in conversation, reflecting on broader experiences, and finding your own path among the average is how you learn. This man is a success and is sharing how his process works for him. So you may take the parts that can work for you.

I must have missed something. Why would I take this class? He seems unsure of his own process. You can get sample proposals for free...

Ok, what did I just watch? 🤔

Titel was stating lessons. You spent 3 minutes on saying you do it your way.

Where's the lesson? What's the purpose of this video? Am I the only one expecting to actually learn something? 🤔

I think you're providing a lot of value but you need to be confident in what you're selling. All of the back tracking you're doing about your thoughts and the value you bring should only come from actual backlash rather than an introduction to who you are.
All I got was your insecure but you might hold information I need. What about just providing value and stopping there.
