I’d love to win this to spend time with two of my favorites, to learn more about film + lighting and anything you’re willing to share, and just to be a part of the goodness that you’re always creating. <3 and because I adore you two!ReplyCancel
Paige Gabert

Man. If I had all of the words to explain how much I’d enjoy winning a seat at your workshop.

I know that I haven’t spoken to Carina as much as Michael (helping me with my silly questions!) but both of you have been an inspiration to me since I stumbled upon your work. It’s great to meet people who want to share their passion with others, who love it just as much as they do. I would be so grateful to watch how you work, and see hear about how you see film. I’d be so excited to explore a different part of the world I’ve never been. And to be surrounded by people who don’t think I’m a wacko for putting thousands of dollars into equipment that is older than my grandparents! Haha. xoxo.

Truthfully I have no clue what the right words are to say… All I can say is. I would be blessed to learn from you all. I’ve been following you both for awhile now… And Iove your images! I pray I win.

I would love to walk away with a better understanding of the cost of film and how to price for it.

This is an amazing opportunity for anyone. I love your work and love shooting film. I have not incorporated film to much into my work for clients and would love to get to a point where I am more confident doing that. I also have only done a handful of weddings and would love to learn the best ways to bring clients in and trust me to document their day! Eeeek this is so exciting!

I would love to understand film more. I would love to gain more power and confidence in naturally posing couples, brides, etc. I’d love to learn from the best! Best of luck to everyone who enters!

I would be humbled to have the experience of learning from you. The workshop is on my birthday (Nov 8) and I can’t imagine a better way to ring in my 30th than at this workshop! Instagram.com/lyndijphotographyReplyCancel

To learn from two people whom I greatly admire would be huge for my little business. xo

I don’t even know where to begin to describe how absolutely amazing it would be to attend this workshop. Your images are beautiful and I would love to soak up all that you’re willing to share!ReplyCancel
Daphne Cebek

Hi Michael and Carina!
I would love to win a seat at this workshop because I currently shoot digital, but assist a wonderful film wedding photographer. I roll film for her, and love it. She recently took me out with her contax, and guided me through out a day of shooting film and walked me through the process of researching labs etc. I’m on the fence, though she suggests diving right in! I would love the opportunity to go to this and continue on my film journey.
I think I would hope to take away a better understanding of light and overall composition and framing.

This will be an amazing opportunity for whoever gets the seat! Good luck to everyone!

Thanks so much Michael and Carina for giving someone this opportunity! Fingers crossed it’s me ReplyCancel
Daesha Williams

I would like to win a seat because it’s a very rare opportunity for me, personally. I come from a small town, very small town and to look up to such amazing photographers such as you guys is just amazing. You guys share so much for others that dream big dreams and it would be such a blessing I meet you two and learn from such an amazing establishment. I would also love this scholarship because it’s a way for others who may not be in the position to invest in in educational things to have an opportunity to do so. Thanks so much for reaching out and giving back to others ! ReplyCancel

I have been so inspired by your work and would love to learn from you both! I find film to be so incredibly beautiful and your images capture such honest emotions and real moments. I want to provide images like that for all of my clients, and I know that the Little Workshop is so incredibly valuable!ReplyCancel
