About the event

Earlier this year in May I had my first event at this location and it was a huge success! Now I organise a new one in September. It’s a photo event in South of France, set in a private historic stone house just outside of Nice. The event includes 3 shooting days, a 4-night stay with your own private room at the property. All meals and drinks included!

The location is intentionally discreet — a characterful Provençal property on the road leading up to Saint-Paul-de-Vence, surrounded by texture, light, and the quiet rhythm of the Mediterranean. Old stone walls, terraces, shaded interiors, and open views create a setting that feels lived-in rather than staged.

It will be a small group of 6 photographers and 3 carefully chosen models. Shared meals, long conversations, and evenings over a glass of wine are as much part of the experience as the photography itself. This is an event away from studios and hotels — closer to a temporary life than an event. Following the spirit of my previous events, this edition remains intimate, collaborative, and experience-led — shaped by place, people, and time rather than production.

Our first model is the amazing Vivi. I’m working with her for the first time. But I heard a lot of good things about her from friends and other photographers!

The second model is Kira. We worked together on an event in Netherlands earlier this year. She is great with posing but she is also a very fun and pleasant person which is important on this kind of event.

Last but not least we have the amazing Sonya! She is one of my favourite models to work and finally I can bring her to Bali. I wanted to have her on my other events but it didn’t work out those times and now we have finally confirmed! At the moment she is exclusive to my events only so keep that in mind.

Location

Here are a few shots of the property. As mentioned earlier all participants will get their own room at the property. The location is just 15 minutes away from the Nice airport and it’s very easy to get an Uber there.

Knowledge and equipment

To participate, no special knowledge or skill level is required; however, you must be able to shoot independently most of the time. While I'll be there to help and provide advice as needed, it's essential for you to operate without continual assistance. When it comes to equipment, you don't need much. I suggest lenses of 50mm, 85mm, 24-70mm, 70-200mm, or similar. Ideally, your lens should have a focal length between 50mm and less than 100mm. As we'll be shooting in natural light, it's beneficial to have a prime lens with a large maximum aperture or a zoom lens with a 2.8 aperture.

When: September 23-27 (23rd is the day of arrival and 27th the day of departure)
Where: Saint-Paul-de-Vence (close to Nice), France
Participants: Max 6 photographers
Price: €3000 (including all meals and 4 nights accommodation in a private room)

About the workshop

New workshop in Malmö, Sweden! Once again with the amazing Nici. She is a very experienced and professional model who has done this for many years. She will soon stope the modelling so I recommend everyone didn’t get a chance to work with her to do it now. She is no longer doing for tours and travels and are only available on selected workshops and events.

It will be a studio workshop. The best thing with studio work is that you can shoot in any weather, any light and at any time of the day. It is perfect for this time of the year in Europe when the days are shorter. All of the lighting skill approaches I will teach you can be utilized in both studio and natural light settings. As the headline suggests we will shoot style from lingere to nude on this workshop.

Everything I will teach and you will learn are my original ideas that have been tested over years of studio experience to produce beautiful and consistent imagery. Only five participants each day will result in much individual quality shooting time.

Individual coaching

This is available on Friday October 30th. There are two slots available, 11.00-14.00 and 16.00-19.00. An individual coaching is tailored for your needs and it includes a lot more shooing time than a workshop. Great opportunity to get more deep knowledge and to make sure you get a lot of great photos with my guidance!

Location

The studio is located just outside of Malmö. Instructions how to get there with either car or public transport will be provided shortly after booking. f you plan to travel from another country you should look for flights to Copenhagen. It is very easy to fly there from many cities around Europe. To get to Malmö takes only 18 minutes with the train and you can go straight from Copenhagen airport.

Knowledge and equipment

To participate there is no special knowledge or skill level needed other than knowing about the basic camera settings such as iso, aperture, shutter speed, white balance etc. My way of working and explaining is very easy to understand. I can promise great results even if you have nerver worked a model or shot with studio lights before.
In terms of equipment it is not that much needed. I recommend 50mm or 85mm or 24-70mm or 70-200mm or similar lenses. Ideally you should have a lens with a focal length between 50mm and less than 100mm.
