Workshop with Yoana Nikolova in Frankfurt on January 15-17

About the workshop

First workshop for 2027! It will be at the amazing Bologaro Loft in Frankfurt, Germany. This time with model Yoana Nikolova! We have worked together many times and you can see a lot of photos from past workshops here. She is always great to work with!

On this workshop we will shoot style from We will shoot mostly nude and lingerie. It will be natural light only and I will teach from my own experience of doing model photography since 2006. To ensure quality shooting time there are only five participants each day. The workshop will be in English and the model also speaks English.

Individual coaching

This is available on Friday January 15th. There are two slots available, 10.00-13.00 and 14.00-17.00. 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 of an amazing model with my guidance!

Some of the main topics

- How to achieve good colors and especially great skin tones
- The foundation of good and beautiful light
- How to change and manipulate natural light
- Knowing your limitations and advantages and work with them
- Shaping the model with the light
- Speed up your workflow
- Metering and exposure
- Getting it right in camera
- Posing and angles
- Interaction with models


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 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. Since we will shoot natural light it is an advantage to have a prime lens with a large maximum aperture or a zoom lens with 2.8 aperture.


Location

The workshop will take place in a studio in Frankfurt city. It’s easy to get to the studio by car or by public transport. The exact address will be provided shortly after booking. The Frankfurt airport is very well connected and it is easy to fly there from many cities around Europe.

Workshop with Anna Pénzes in Malmö, Sweden on January 22-24

Workshop with Anna Pénzes in Malmö, Sweden on January 22-24

About the workshop

I just listed a new workshop with Anna Pénzes (or Anna Cash). We worked together the first time in the summer of 2022 and it has been several times since then. She is always amazing and one of my favourites to work with. She was with me in Bali last year and you can see some of those photos below.

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. We will shoot style from lingerie 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.

Photo event in Nice, France on May 12-16

Photo event in Nice, France on May 12-16

About the event

I just finished the event in September and it went well. For next year I plan a new event in May! The location for the event is in South of France, 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. The dates are May 12th to 16th. The first day is for arrival and check in and the last day departure. All meals and drinks included.

Two of the models are confirmed and the third model will be listed soon!

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 is the amazing Anastasiia whom I worked with many times already. For this sort of events I prefer to bring models I know already since we will all live together for several days.


The second model is Dorka. 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.


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: May 12th - 16th (first day is arrival and check in and the last day 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)
