Lindsay Adler x Jonny Edward
Connection & Exploration | The Workshop
Firehouse Studios - Jersey City, NJ | July 13

It’s official: we’re combining creative and professional forces to produce an incredible, inspiring, hands-on workshop with an emphasis on connection and exploration, two guiding principles that shape compelling, visually striking, and emotionally resonant imagery. This workshop is all about genuine community, heartfelt authenticity, and artistic exploration.

Although our styles, aesthetics, and creative voices differ, we’re both grounded in the importance of creating work that feels personally meaningful and artistically free. To that end, we are coming together to embolden attendees to break free from formulaic image-making and reconnect with their artistic vision. This workshop invites photographers to explore not only new tools and techniques but also their own instincts and creative identities.

Through hands-on demonstration and a breakdown of our singular processes and approaches, we will collectively delve into what it means to create from a place of curiosity rather than certainty—and how allowing space for risk, experimentation, and failure can unlock creative breakthroughs.

By the end of this immersive experience, attendees will have acquired practical tools, gained renewed inspiration, and developed a more profound sense of confidence in their ability to explore, connect, and create images that are truly their own.

A big shoutout and thanks to our sponsors, - - and for making it possible for us to produce this workshop while keeping the price point as accessible as possible. We also extend our shared gratitude to our wonderful photographic community!

This collaborative endeavor promises to be an extraordinary experience that you don’t want to miss!

There are only a few spots left. If you’d like to learn more or register to secure your place, follow the link in Jonny’s bio or comment ‘WORKSHOP,’ and we’ll send the information your way via DM.

See you next month!

Art is life; life is art!

I am elated to share more of the incredible art I created during my workshop tour in Mexico that was organized and produced by my dear friend, brilliant colleague, and creative sister, 🫂

As a collective, we created this collection in Guadalajara at a truly amazing studio: We were welcomed not only as fellow artists but also as family. If you ever find yourself in GDL, you must visit this incredible space!

In-frame is the incendiary who brought all the energy, poise, elegance, power, and beauty, and was kind, sweet, and patient throughout the workshop. Muchas gracias, Beth!

The lovely and wonderfully talented graciously provided the backdrops we used on both days. As you know, I am addicted to canvas and don’t know what I would’ve done without the beautiful backdrops Luz shared with us!

Big shoutout to and .mx for the gift of illumination! Thanks to Nanlite and de*vice, we had a stellar collection of world-class lights and modifiers with which to explore, experiment, and create!

There’s not enough love or words for my brother-from-another-mother, for translating, assisting production, and being a beacon of light and a perpetual source of support, encouragement, and magic. Love you, Charly!

This collection is the byproduct of a collective of spectacular, impassioned humans and artists—community at its finest!

Needless to say, I am grateful beyond words, and my friends and family in Guadalajara will forever have a place in my heart.

I am also incredibly excited to share that I will be back in Mexico in August to teach a couple more workshops in Puebla and CDMX and speak/teach at the biggest photography conference in Mexico, Convención Internacional de Fotografía in Aguascalientes!

Dreams do come true! I love y’all!

Never stop creating!

Art is life; life is art.

Tay: An Emotive Narrative... ✨

Connection, expression, creation—a foundational triad for the photographic artist who values humanism and storytelling above all else. This collection powerfully and viscerally manifests all those elements, and I am honored to share these archived moments with you.

Tay and I have been friends for many years. However, the last time we collaborated was nearly half a decade ago. It’s surreal, really. On and off, we chatted about reconnecting and creating, but things never quite aligned until recently, when she came to my studio. We spent a few hours getting lost in the process while finding ourselves as artists and creatives.

We didn’t have much of a plan, just a general direction and vague ideas. However, we were receptive to going with the flow and allowing things to unfold organically. It started with a vintage slip for the wardrobe and an old-school tungsten light bar for illumination. From there, a story began to emerge about exploration, identity, and movement, both tangible and metaphorical.

At some point, we added a mirror and organza, an homage to the masks we wear to hide ourselves from ourselves and the world and the confrontation within that’s necessary to shed those masks so that we might emerge from shadow into light as our authentic selves—the molting of former iterations; liberation toward our becoming.

I found myself wholly enveloped, awash in a state of creative fervor, and it felt wonderful to once again feel at home in the studio and behind the camera. I needed that.

It was a struggle to cull and curate this collection into an aggregate of eighteen slides, plus a couple of extras for the full set and some interesting BTS. Each frame deserves to be seen and felt, but none make much sense or maintain their power and depth out of context, removed from the collection. It’s truly a story from start to finish...

- thanks for being you, being vulnerable, and creating this entrancing visual narrative with me. Until the next time...

Never stop creating!
