John Bello Photographer | Vancouver | Weddings + Portraits

In the last couple of weeks, I’ve found myself going out on photo walks and documenting my random adventures. It’s the perfect pick me up if you have ever felt in a creative rut or just feel a little less than inspired. Whether you are a designer, musician, writer, etc., the best way to get inspired is to find a bunch of people and go out and bond! Hang out, create, share ideas, practice your craft, laugh, cry, drink beer, eat sushi and build off the creative energy that is sure to be around you. In this photo walk, I was able to hang out with some very cool people, all wedding photographers, who have become very good friends – and I definitely look forward to the next adventure. Check out their work here:

On Wednesday, I was privileged to attend a workshop by a photographer, who in my opinion is one of the best in the world. His name is Fer Juaristi and not only is he a top notch artist, he is a quality human being. One of the biggest things I learned from this crazy mexican was to let go and not be afraid to create – unleashe my creativity and shoot images that I love to shoot. I love images that are raw in emotion, aesthetically appealing in composition and dynamic in light.  Fer’s workshop inspired me to always keep those elements in mind as I shoot, and I know the results will be killer.

I was truly inspired on Wednesday, and I can speak for the other photographers that were there with me: Fer is the bomb. ferjuaristi.com/

A special thanks to the #mofos at Nordica Photography for getting this all together and a big thank you to the biggest #mofo, Fer! I cannot wait for this wedding season!

The following images are my favourites from throughout the day. Which one is yours!?

This is a continuation of the #waldo inspired shoot which can be found HERE.  We took a coffee break after the first outfit to take refuge from the cold weather and prep for the second look. By the time we got back out into the streets, the sun had vanished behind the clouds and it started to get really windy… then the rain came… and then it snowed… Enjoy!

At the end of February I attended my first ever WPPI convention in Las Vegas. I was privileged enough to hear some of the most illustrious photographers speak, witnessed the most incredible award winning images, bonded with fellow Vancouver friends, met a handful of photographers from around the world who I really admire, partied with them, ate copious amounts of food (well the word ‘food’ is giving what I ate way too much credit), came to the realization that every photographer in Vegas but me, had an iPhone and WALKED. SO. MUCH!
The pictures below are from my experiences outside the convention bubble, walking around the strip, at the desert, in my hotel room… in no particular order… kind of like how my mind felt when I was there! Nonetheless, this was one week of my life that has left me ultimately inspired and driven to push myself to work on my craft, and most importantly, my business. Till’ we meet again Vegas, I had a blast!
