Some call it social media, some call it the internet 2.0, some call it the spawn of the devil.
Like it or not, many people have different sites on the internet where they interact with people in one way or another. I thought I’d share some of the places where you can find me.
My Facebook Business Page - Jonas Peterson Photography.
My goal is to be more active on Facebook, I’m going to treat it as a mini blog of sorts, write more and share things that don’t end up on the blog. Follow me there if you’re interested in what’s going on in my life 2012.
I use Twitter for more random interactions with whoever. A oneliner here, a shared album review there. Small things, but things I love.
For the last two years I have answered more than 3300 questions about my photography on Formspring. Sometimes I sound a little frustrated in my answers, but that’s usually because I’ve already answered most questions 30 times. Feel free to ask me anything about my photography there, but please keep the simple gear questions to google. I won’t answer basic questions about lenses, aperture and such, but I’m happy to let you in and answer questions about why I do what I do.
I haven’t really pinned much yet, but I’m slowly, slowly starting to use it more, so if you’re a pinner, join me there.
I’m there, I haven’t been very active, but things will change.
I’m also on Instagram, Foursquare and some other places, but I can’t seem to find links to my accounts :)

wow, where do you find the time of all of that? I follow you on Facebook and I think you post just the right amount ;)
Thanks for sharing this! I can always use more Jonas Peterson Photography in my life!
We’ve sent a few questions your way on Formspring since discovering it last year. Rock on, brother.
How does one find you on Pinterest? I would love to see what you’re pinning.
Er…uh…yah, I’m an idiot. I figured it out.
What about Flickr? : )
Glad to see you on Facebook – a day is always better when your magnificent images pop up in my feed!
The LIKE button on your Facebook page seems to be frozen ;)
Wow, great lighting you had that day Jonas! How wonderful captured by you. The first black&white picture is amazing. Other images are also well edited.
Wow! Where do you go to get away from it all?!
You’re different and you’re the one. Congrats from Barcelona, Spain
Fabulous light at dusk in these shots, as always great work Jonas!
when i get married… i highly expect you will be there… need i say more.
Har du hört talas om Matt Corby? Jag lyssnar alltid på låtarna som du ibland länkar till dina inlägg och tror därför att du skulle kunna gilla den här killen också!
Now try pin it plugin.
I love it, congratulations

I’ve been lucky enough to shoot more than 10 weddings in Bali the last three years and there’s something about that island and the people there that touches my inner core. It’s also a place that has to be experienced with all your senses. It’s hot and humid and as soon as you step off the plane you can feel and smell Bali in all its glory, the rich scents of burning incense and palm leaves. I’ve travelled all around the world, but nothing really smells and feels like Bali. I’m shooting four more Bali weddings this year. Tickets from Australia are cheap and if I didn’t work all the time, I think I would be going to Bali more. More than anything I want to do a photography workshop in Bali. I’m never more at ease than when I’m there.

Wow! As usual, you’re work just blows me away. Thank you for sharing.
Can’t wait for you to do a photography workshop here in Bali. Please please do.
all my dreams would come true if I could shoot just one wedding in Bali. You are right – there is no place on this earth like Bali – i too feel so at ‘home’ there. If you were to do a workshop over there I’m not sure I could resist signing up :)
You have the best eye for every thing ! Love this looks unreal such a rad place to shoot !
You are so awesome!
I’ve never been, but damn I want to!
Dom här bilderna får mig definitivt att vilja åka dit!
oh my, I am beyond jelous now! Bali is the place of my dreams, I want to go there sooo baaad. Lovely pictures!
Most excellent as always Jonas.
I would love to come to one of your workshops and would doubly love to come if it was in Bali.
These images fill me with wanderlust. Beautiful.
Oh, it’s a wonderful world!!!
Couldn’t agree more. Spent my honeymoon there. Mesmerising place. Beautiful atmospheric photos
Haven’t made it that way yet but it looks heavenly through your eyes!
Väldigt fint!;)
Med den omgivningen kan man inte misslyckas :-) Inte för att jag tror att det skulle ha hänt dock…
Absolutely stunning. Giving me huge amounts of travel envy.
Wow! Otroligt vackra foton och jag blir sugen på att besöka Bali omedelbums! Sista fotot skulle jag vilja vara med vid… sitta där på stranden och se de dansa med ljusen i handen :)
We love the dragonfly : D
So colorful! As always with your blogs it was hard to pick out favorites because I loved them all. I’d also love to go to a workshop someday, Bali or not. Thanks for sharing. :)
awesome details of bali.
wow vad fint.
Yes, wanderlust.
It does look like a special place.
Hy, i’m a photographer from Romania, europe, and i’m astonished by your photos and your stile. I enter almost daily on your site, to see if you posted something new. God bless you and your familly and your work. You do a great great job.
Beautiful, beautiful work as always – A workshop in Bali? Count me in!!!
this is beautiful! and with the music…i felt like i was there!
Great stuff mate! Cant wait to get there one day!
The one of the little girl with the pan in her hand and the elegant step kills me it is so beautiful.
I get to Bali at least once a year and it is one of my fav places to photograph!! The people are beautiful and the sights create images almost all by themselves. I have not shot a wedding there yet but I am looking forward to the day!! Great job mate:)
workshop in Bali? SO there.
Jonas, these are absolutely stunning … You’ve just made me even more excited for my trip to Bali next week!
oh How gorgeous!! your work is stunning. You made me wanna go home. How I miss Indonesia after looking at your shots.
Lucky you! It´s a dream of mine to shoot a wedding in Bali! ;D
If you do the w / s, I’ll be there. is a long time since I want to fly there … and I would like to w / s with you
Wow, just wow. That’s all I can say. Literally speechless.
Bali, must feel quite special to be a destination photographer and arrive in Bali. It sounds so peaceful, only by the name. And by the looking … this must be an incredible place to be shooting weddings ! Incredible work, can’t wait to see the future works there.
Welcome to bali
Hi Jonas, you have big fans here in Bali. Come and have a workshop here…..
I love Bali! Photography workshop in Bali with Jonas Peterson? Great idea, count me in!
Beautiful from start to finish Jonas, i love capturing weddings in bali – such a magestic place!
no words… just stunning.
it’s exciting to know that so many great photographers out there are excited about bali. i went to bali once on my honeymoon. it’s surely a heaven on earth. i would love to go there again someday. and if you’d do the workshop there it would be even better. great photos as always mr. Peterson! huge fan of yours!
Truly lovely images, I went to Bali many many years ago … now I want to go back.
You are a true master with the camera and framing!
The first picture is amazing…
If you’re doing a workshop in Bali I’m going to try my best to save up and go. It’s the closest destination to me.
Oh how I love Bali. I desperately want to shoot a beautiful beach wedding there some day. It’s also the dream location of my own wedding (also hopefully some day)
**puts hand up to indicate keenness to attend Jonas Peterson workshop in Bali**
My hand is up for attending a workshop in Bali. I just flew home today from this magical island. your photos are amazing :)
A-M-A-Z-I-N-G ! I especially love the Balinese dancers, beautiful work!
Great photography as always… love this post.
Wonderful pictures in a magic place. I love Bali too. Congrats.
This is brilliant. You were made to do this man…
I love it, great work
Magic! Incredible! You’re the best!
Great images. Wish I could come to the Bali workshop!
Fantastiskt att se. Bilden med handdukarna vid poolen och regnet som är på väg in är helt lysande.
Nice work, Nice Place. Hope we can have a wedding @ Bali this year.
What an interesting approach to a wedding photography.
I’ll be shooting one in Bali soon so it’s great to see this wonderful work.
Stunning work Jonas! Where was this held at? I would absolutely love to stay there,its so beautiful.
Hi jonas!!
If you do a workshop in Bali, I would like to go. Will you put me on your list?
Thank you,
Lindsay
These photos make my heart sing. Seriously. Just gorgeous.
I would love to go to a workshop and/or shoot a wedding in Bali! Lucky you Jonas!
One of the (many) reasons I love to look at your work is that you’re on the other side of the world from me and show an insight into such different cultures, be they in Australia, or elsewhere, as here in Bali. This is as far from weddings in rainy England as you can get. Thanks for the insight into another culture. A feast for the eyes.
Wow! These are truely stunning photos! Im off to Malaysia this summer and Im considering going to Bali as well!
Beautiful, beautiful work as always – A workshop in Bali? Count me in!!!
Wow! As usual, you’re work just blows me away. Thank you for sharing.
