On the Road with Ossian Lindholm

A few weeks ago I had a chance to finally catch up to Ossian Lindholm and Lauren Hefferon, founder of Travel Vision Journeys and Ciclismo Classico. We were all attending Fotofusion 2016, part of Palm Beach Workshops' annual events. I've shared a lot of posts from Ossian over the last year along with many of his images, but nothing beats just hanging out with the man!

If you haven't been to one of his programs, put it on your bucket list. My good buddy and industry icon, Joe Meehan and I had a chance to hear Ossian speak and it was remarkable. Besides stunning images, his passion for the craft and the environment, Joe and I both noticed something unique.

Ossian's English is excellent, but it's not his native language.  Well, Joe pointed out to me when somebody is presenting in a second language, they're much more to the point. In fact, as I listened to Ossian, it would take him five minutes to explain a technique, which an American photographer would have taken fifteen!  As a result, his program was packed with great information, and using his images to make the point it was one of the better how-to presentations I've ever attended.

Check out Ossian's relatively new Facebook page to keep track of his schedule and where he's shooting. You'll also find him on some of the finest travel trips in the world with Lauren Hefferon and her award-winning team. 

Forbes recently recognized Ciclismo Classico's Patagonia trip as one of the best trips in the world for 2016! Check out the short video below as Ossian and several photographers head off in search of the Puma.

Hanging out with Ossian in West Palm

For years I've talked about the best thing about the photographic industry having nothing to do with imaging, but the friendships that come out of everyone's love for the craft!

​The next time you see Ossian on the schedule for a workshop in your area run to get a seat. You'll never be disappointed in what he has to share and you'll add one very special friend to your network!
