Soon in Sydney a bunch of photographers are gathering with one of my favourite Canadian photographers (previously written about here) Jesh De Rox. Samm Blake hosted him in Perth last week and now he’s hitting Bondi Beach!
It’s always a big deal to see photographers like this come to Australia as we’re so far away!
Unfortunately as a wedding blogger it’s a little hard to convince people you have a great reason to go to a photography workshop so I will wistfully share some of his beautiful work with you instead.
Jesh De Rox conveys incredible emotion in his photographs and his words, which is probably why I am so moved by what he does.His photographs sometimes make me lose my breath- each is full of passion and emotion and each is more like art than a photograph.
I wish I could share all the ways his words resonate with me- the way I am reminded to find beauty in small things, to take a breath, to reconnect with myself (especially at a time like now here Christmas is making life so busy) If you feel like taking a breath, pop over to Jesh’s blog and read Fall In Love With Yourself and Saturday amongst his other entries.
Luckily enough I know a few Polka Dot Bride readers are able to attend the Jesh De Rox workshop so perhaps they will be kind enough to visit and share some of their inspiration with us soon!

I wish I could put into words what I experienced last week. Today I am a completely different to the person I was last Monday. My boyfriend and I had a portrait session with Jesh on Friday. Something magical happened during those two hours – my boyfriend is a changed man

We KNOW “A picture’s worth a thousand words.” has been bandied about forever, but it’s photos like these that gave rise to this oft-repeated phrase. Thanks for sharing.

Jesh is a wonderful man. We live close to him in Edmonton and I was lucky enough to attend his workshop this year. It is an indescribable experience and he shares a lot of himself with everyone.
If you meet Jesh you WILL learn something!
