Alex Strohl is an inspiring instructor. In this workshop, he unveils his roots, habits, routines, and ways of working (on the spot, behind his desk, and with clients). He highlights that a professional photography practice isn't only about photographing but also admin. Which shouldn't be a problem to keep a certain level of creativity thanks to Alex's guidance on balancing your life. Speaking with authenticity, he shows himself in places he belongs to. This brings a true added value to the workshop. Exposing his own story, Alex enables other photographers to think about their personal creative path.

Learning from Alex while he sits in his living room with the fire cracking, or while he wanders his home town feels personable and unedited. There are many photography workshops on technique, equipment, lighting, posing, etc., but to gain insight into the values, routines, and goals of a passionate and successful photographer is an important, often hidden, lens. Alex seems real and relatable, and I really appreciated the business, creative, photography and life lessons I gained from this course.

Coming in the midst of a pandemic when so many of us are experiencing burnout or lack of inspiration, this workshop couldn't come at a more perfect time. Alex's calm and encouraging presence really comes through in this workshop, as they do in all of his workshops, but this one you could definitely feel was even more personal. Thank you, Alex, for sharing your words and your work with us. 🙏🏻

This was exactly the stuff I needed to watch. Alex goes a level deeper into the so-hot topics these current days, for many photographers. It just felt very personal, still Alex's style, yet different from Adventure Pro, maybe given the connection to his home environment in France. I have recently watched another top adventure photographer's workshop, only to hear what layers to wear and how not to forget to take water. Alex will tell you how he plans his days, how he negotiates the prices and how not to compare yourself to other competition. The last one resonates with me a lot and it went so far that I had to stop watching Instagram for a while. I will watch it again, this time with my journal handy. Thank you, truly, well done.
