P A R I S
Paris hums history, wrapped in old stone. Light fractures, shadows lean. Every street is a beat, every corner a hook. The city does not pause, it plays.
PARIS
ART WITHOUT LIMITS. COLORING OUTSIDE THE LINES.
WHAT WE KNOW FOR SURE COOL PEOPLE MAKE BETTER PHOTOGRAPHERS
“CREATIVE? GOES WITHOUT SAYING. INSPIRING? SAME. CAMARADERIE? CHECK. GOOD WALKING SHOES? DUH. BUT TRANSFORMING THE WAY YOU SEE THE WORLD YOU THOUGHT YOU KNEW? THAT’S TONY/PB. NO OTHER WORKSHOP EVEN COMES CLOSE.”
“I WOULD NEVER HAVE SEEN SO
MUCH OF PARIS—OR WITH SUCH ATTENTION TO DETAIL— ON MY OWN. TONY SCOUTED INCREDIBLE LOCATIONS AND TAILORED CHALLENGES FOR EACH OF US. WATCHING CRITIQUES WAS INSPIRING AND IMMEDIATELY SHAPED HOW I SHOOT. TONY IS A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND KNOWS EXACTLY HOW TO CHALLENGE EACH STUDENT. PB DELIVERED ANOTHER UNFORGETTABLE WEEK.”
-JESSA STEVENS
“WHAT AN AMAZING, INSPIRING, FULL WEEK!
TONY HAS A UNIQUE TALENT FOR SEEING WHERE OUR WORK IS HEADING AND HELPING US DEVELOP IT. HE KNOWS WHEN TO ENCOURAGE, WHEN TO PUSH, WHEN TO USE HUMOR, AND WHEN TO GET SERIOUS. TEN PEOPLE CAN PHOTOGRAPH THE SAME PLACE, AND WITH TONY’S GUIDANCE, YOU’LL SEE TEN STUNNING, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT RESULTS. HE’S ONE IN A MILLION, AND MY PHOTOGRAPHY HAS GROWN IMMEASURABLY THANKS TO HIM.”
-DEB PIERCE
“A PB WORKSHOP IS JUST WHAT I NEED TO REIGNITE MY SPARK. TONY BLENDS IDEAS, TECHNIQUES, AND DIRECTION IN A WAY THAT MEETS EACH STUDENT WHERE THEY ARE. I ALWAYS COME HOME WITH NEW SKILLS AND A RENEWED SENSE OF PURPOSE.”
-CHRISTINE CLARK
“IN PARIS, I SAW LIGHT, SHADOWS, SHAPES, PATTERNS, AND BEAUTY IN A WHOLE NEW WAY. PB WORKSHOPS ALWAYS INSPIRE ME.”
-KATHY STEVENS
“WORKING WITH TONY HAS BEEN TRULY TRANSFORMATIVE. HE HAS A RARE ABILITY TO SEE EACH PERSON’S POTENTIAL AND GUIDE THEM TOWARD THEIR UNIQUE CREATIVE VOICE. HIS WORKSHOPS GO FAR BEYOND TECHNIQUE—HE GIVES CLARITY, CONFIDENCE, AND THE COURAGE TO MAKE WORK THAT FEELS FULLY YOUR OWN.”
-CLAY & CARLA SMITH
“PARIS, SO ALLURING—YET UNDER TONY’S GUIDANCE, IT BECAME EVEN MORE: A STAGE FOR COLOR, SHAPE, AND DISCOVERY. EACH WORKSHOP BRINGS PERSONAL GROWTH AND NEW WAYS OF SEEING. THAT’S WHY I KEEP COMING BACK.”
-JUDY JOHNSON
“I CAME TO THE PB WORKSHOP IN PARIS AFTER A FEW YEARS AWAY FROM PHOTOGRAPHY. WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN OVERWHELMING WAS ENERGIZING THANKS TO THE THOUGHTFUL, WELL-PLANNED ITINERARY. IT FELT LIKE A REUNION—MEETING OLD FRIENDS AND MAKING NEW ONES. EVERY PARTICIPANT BROUGHT A UNIQUE VISION, AND WE INSPIRED EACH OTHER ALL WEEK. TONY IS AN INCREDIBLE LEADER: ENTHUSIASTIC, HONEST, AND DEEPLY INVESTED IN HELPING EACH OF US PUSH FORWARD. HE CHALLENGED ME TO TRY NEW TECHNIQUES AND APPROACHES, JUST AS HE ALWAYS HAS. THAT’S WHY PB WAS THE ONLY OPTION WHEN I DECIDED TO RETURN TO PHOTOGRAPHY. THANKS FOR HELPING ME FALL BACK IN LOVE WITH IT.”
—LAURIE STEVENSON
“SO
MUCH WAS SPECIAL
ABOUT
OUR WEEK IN PARIS. TONY CHOSE LOCATIONS THAT LET ME LEAN INTO MY STRENGTHS WHILE ALSO TRYING NEW APPROACHES. HE ENCOURAGED ME TO TAKE CHANCES, AND I’M THRILLED WITH THE RESULTS. HIS FEEDBACK—ALWAYS
POSITIVE, SUPPORTIVE, AND CLEAR—HELPED ME TAKE MY PHOTOGRAPHY TO THE NEXT LEVEL.”
-KELLY KARMEL
“WORKING WITH TONY IS ALWAYS REWARDING. HE CREATES A SAFE SPACE TO STRETCH YOUR SKILLS, LEARN FROM MISSES AS WELL AS SUCCESSES, AND GROW AS A PHOTOGRAPHER. HE’S A FABULOUS TEACHER AND MENTOR. I JUST FINISHED PB PARIS AND ALREADY CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ADVENTURE.”
—DONNA DE SANTIS
“TONY’S WORKSHOPS NEVER DISAPPOINT. MY HOMEWORK WAS TO ‘SEE THE SPACE’—AND IN THE CITY OF LIGHTS, I TRULY DID. HIS
MENTORING HELPED ME WORK WITH OBSTACLES AND SEE NEW POSSIBILITIES. CAN’T WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE.”
-JEN WEISS
“PB PARIS WAS PHENOMENAL! THE
WERE WELCOMING, AND
PARISIANS
THE CITY LEFT ME SINGING OOH LA LA. TONY PLANNED A DIVERSE, RIGOROUS AGENDA BUT STILL LEFT SPACE FOR PERSONAL EXPLORATION. HE WAS ALWAYS THERE TO COACH, YET MADE SURE WE FOLLOWED OUR OWN CREATIVE PATHS.
LOOKING FORWARD TO 2026!”
