Film Is Not Dead
The Film Is Not Dead workshop (or FIND) is a match, not a wildfire. And at the end of it, it’s up to you to magnify that flame in your life and career—but now with a community of brothers and sisters rooting for you, cheering on your successes and acting as a resource for you to continue your FIND experience.
That’s ultimately what makes FIND special: the continual guidance in terms of advice, education, critiques, compliments, and encouragement—because we know that the success of the individual is the success of the family.
Families On Film
” I will show you how to create a game plan so that every time you go into a session you will never question what to do, how to do it, and most importantly how to make 1-1.5 hours of your time the most efficient it can be. Pairing film stocks I have with different skin tones along with an in depth discussion on posing/composition that won’t make your photos look like they are posed, but natural interactions.
Crazy kids that won’t stop running around? No problem.
Dad’s who want to punch you in the face? No problem.
Mom’s who keep telling their kids to smile and look at the camera? No problem.
This workshop will empower you to be able to shoot sessions all on film. “
Personal Work
” Personal work is just that, personal. I can’t tell you what to shoot. But during this workshop I will help you come up with a game plan for finding the best projects that mean something to you, that are the most rewarding, how to maximize your access, how to budget for the project, and how to get it out in to the world.
Want to make a change, let’s create a gameplan that will ensure your photos just don’t end up on instagram or facebook. Want to find your voice and figure out how to use said voice to have your viewer really FEEL something, we will discuss what actually is required to make this happen.
You will leave this workshop not only with a lit fire under you but a sound game plan to make it happen, and possibly make a change. “

Q & A
About Jon
“One of the leading wedding photographers in US. He’s loud, he’s funny, he’s an open book in every sense of the word—even down to the fact that he’s now a published author. There is no mask on his beliefs or on his emotions and he’s not afraid to let his voice be heard. His unyielding expression of his vision and his tireless pursuit of capturing the light in people and in life have endeared his images to the photography community.
Although he is a giant advocate of film photography, Jon’s true passion is his family. Jon, his beautiful and talented wife, Callie, and their six kids live in Hauula, Hawaii. Jon’s home and family is the primary feature and expression of joy —and source of inspiration— in his personal work.”
