Sybylla's on-line photo-book discussions are thoughtfully organized and inspiring. It's a wonderful opportunity she has created that allows photographers talk about their ideas and process.

With a warm, inviting personality, Sybylla generously offers and share her insights and inspiration. Last year I joined an introduction zoom call to her Concept Aware workshop and from there learned about her online photo book discussions. It is so wonderful, receiving renewed inspiration from the discussions and afterwards experiment with different things. Wherever you are on your photography journey, go have a look at Sybyllas website for support and inspiration.

I had attended a 2-day workshop a few years ago with Sybylla that was very inspiring and informative. At the time however, I was a full-time commercial and editorial photographer and once I returned to work I unfortunately allowed my everyday work life to take over again. Last week I signed up for Sybylla's Concept Aware, A Beginners Guide, which was offered on-line as a Zoom meeting, given the Covid-19 restrictions. Even though only two of us were on the call, Sybylla did not hesitate to proceed with the discussion. For well over the allotted hour, we were each given personalized attention and allowed to actively participate in what became a highly interactive experience. For anyone looking for direction and inspiration, I recommend visiting her web site and investigating what she offers.
