Jo Grams and Johannes van Kan are coming from New Zealand to Perth in a couple of weeks to talk their heads off.
In conjunction with the West Australian branch of the Australian Institute of Professional Photography we will be presenting a personal insight into our photography, our business, our development, our philosophy and our albums. We want to inspire, provoke and encourage other photographers to best themselves.
This is a unique opportunity for us to speak in tandem. We never do this. Its easy as photographers to become self centered so having the two of us creates a balance of 'selves'. We want this to be interactive and informative. Its two days on growing, surviving, nurturing, and why coffee is important.
We have nothing to sell but so much to give. We have won too many awards to worry about, we have shot in many amazing places, but when it comes down to the everyday truth of being a photographer for the people, we are singly most motivated by striving to give our best to the ones who gave us the trust to be their photographer.
We look forward to seeing you in Perth
Johannes Jo and Ida

Hi Johannes & Jo.
Just wanted to let you how inspiring, informative and `exquisite' you were during your seminar in Perth. You are both delightful, talented, passionate, business savy and `real'.
The two days were jammed packed with so much info to absorb (I think my brain started to hurt towardes the end).
I've already made changes to my little business and they way I approach my photography - rediscovering my `why'.
Thank you for being so giving and I look forward to hearing your words AND seeing your imagery again.
Kind regards,
Des
