Traveling Light Film 2017

At least 2-3 times a week I tell this amazing story about how I met this guy in Ibiza late 2012. How he started a photo lab together with his friend and how on earth it’s possible that they employ over 30 people at this moment. Film was dead, remember? But at the beginning of 2017 he surprised me again. “Hey Wes, I was thinking about organizing this event, Traveling Light Film… What do you think, wanne help me out?”  Enthusiastic as always I instantly agreed without thinking too much about the consequences. A couple of sleepless months later I stood on this stage to talk to this amazing crowd. Probably the most inspiring  4 days in my photography career, cannot thank everybody enough for the good talks, the encouraging words and the amazing feedback.

And Albert, thank you for encouraging me to explore more and for believing in the gibberish I have to tell.

Torroella de Montgrí is going to explode early November 2018 so keep an eye on Traveling Light Film website for dates and tickets : https://travelinglight.eu/

90% of the time we sat in this amazing theater listening to inspiring speakers, at dinner tables talking to the rest of our amazing family, or at this really cool place called ‘La Sala’, drinking cerveza’s or fantastic Spanish wines…  So only a couple of frames from the days leading to the event.

Incredibly proud of the guy at the right, my friend Albert Roig, for pulling off that one event where we all were dreaming of… Done, done, on to the next one!

Lucia & Albert | Film is not dead

At the end of summer I had the opportunity to attend a Film is Not Dead workshop hosted by the amazing Jonathan Canlas. We went to Ibiza, not to party but to do what we love most, shooting film. I’m not a big writer, so I’m not going to post a page long review of it, but please take my word on it, its a life changing experience for those who are looking for their voice.

For now some images of Spanish Albert en Italian Lucia. A tasty Mediterranean mix…



In 2013 FIND is coming back to Europe! Jonathan is hosting a workshop in Munich (Germany) and Norfolk (UK), more details over here : http://filmisnotdead.com/#workshops

And I just want to take a moment to say thank you to all the models who came out, and to express how honored and lucky I am to have spent those 4 days with Jonathan, his crew and all the amazing photographers who attended FIND Ibiza : Jonathan Canlas, Henry Harder, Stavros Kirimlidis, Carolina Sainz, Steve Gerrard, Arno Paul, Claire Morgan, Darryl Felton, Bunn Salarzon, Audrey Neracoulis, Chanelle Segerius Bruce, Gerald Daclin, Jorrit Lousberg, Rebecca Lindon, Gert Huygaerts, Kim Hawkins, Catherine Abegg & Albert Roig
