About the event

*** Update! Because of the shorter days this time of the year we will start at 10.00 and not at 11.00 ***

This is the last event in Netherlands for this year. As always have 3 amazing models and 6 photographers each day. This time 2 of the models are unique and exclusive for my events only!

The first model out is Liza. This is the first time she is in Europe. Her red hair, freckles makes her very unique. She also has darker skin than the typical red haired models which makes her even more special. The second model Irina is a model who embodies sophistication, boldness, and distinctiveness commands attention without asking for it. The third model Yoana is fun, playful and always a pleasure to work with as many of you guys know by now!

This is a photo event, not a regular workshop, so the emphasis will be on shooting time. Participants will be grouped into pairs, each with a model. We will rotate the groups, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to shoot with each model, which guarantees a lot of shooting time. All the models will shoot up to artistic nude.

My role is to provide assistance, share innovative concepts, and ignite your creativity. My aim is to ensure you leave with extraordinary, one-of-a-kind photographs of our trio of exquisite, professional models. This unique setting further enhances the visual appeal and distinctiveness of your captures. Let's transform your vision into reality together!

The location

The highlight of this event, apart from the models, is the amazing location. Our expansive studio features several rooms, each with its distinct style. Additionally, there's a large "factory" section providing a rugged backdrop for our shoots. Take a look at the photos below.

Knowledge and equipment

To participate, no special knowledge or skill level is required; however, you must be able to shoot independently at all times. 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.

Where and how to get there

The location is situated in a place called Dongen, near the Belgium border and not too far from Germany. For instance, it's less than a 2.5-hour drive from Cologne. If you're flying in, you can land in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, or Eindhoven, and cover the remaining distance by train. From Amsterdam and Rotterdam, the train to Breda is available. From Eindhoven, you can journey to Tilburg. Additionally, there are several hotels I can recommend for anyone planning to stay overnight and participate on both days. Don't hesitate to ask if you need any information regarding travel possibilities.

When: October 31 to November 2
Where: Dongen, Netherlands
Time: 10.00-17.00
Participants: Up to 6 each day
Price: €699 each day

About the workshop

As most of you know by now I have been in Frankfurt doing workshops many times. Usually in the same location but this time it is different!

I have a new natural light studio in the city of Frankfurt! In some ways it is better than the old studio. This new studio is much bigger, it has bigger and taller windows, higher ceiling and as a result much more available light!. The location is better and much easier to access by public transport. It is also relatively easy to find parking spaces in the area if you come by car.

For this workshop I bring the amazing French model Claire! We worked together last year and I can promise she is fantastic to work with. She is also a kind and nice person which makes her even better and easier to work with!

On this workshop we will shoot natural light. This will give you a lot of photos you will walk away with from the day. We will shoot four styles each day - lifestyle, fashion, lingerie and nude. The best thing with working with natural light is that it is faster and easier to make changes and it is also easier to get a lot of variety in your photos.

Everything I will teach you at the workshop are my original ideas that have been tested over years of hard work as there are no short cuts in photography! Only five participants each day will result in much individual quality shooting time. Expand your portfolio with beautiful images of the beautiful Claire! The workshop will be in English and the model also speaks English.

Individual coaching

This is available on Friday November 14th. 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!

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.

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.

About the workshop

I have decided to bring the amazing Leah Blum back to Sweden for another workshop! She is very cool to work with, she has a unique look and she is a very kind and nice person. Very pleasant to work with.

It will be a studio workshop with flash due to the poor light and cold wether during this time of the year. The best thing with studio work is that you can shoot in any weather, any light and at any time of the day. 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.

We will shoot styles from lingerie to nude. Expand your portfolio with beautiful images of the beautiful Leah Blum! The workshop will be in English and the model also speaks English.

About the event

My Bali events are really going well so I have decided to make another one on March 13th to 17th. Day one will be for check-in and introductions. The next three days are dedicated to shooting, with the fifth day for check-out. On the event there will be three absolutely fantastic models and they are all listed together with photos below. Only six photographers will join to keep the event personal and maximize shooting time. We will stay together in villas, which will also be our shooting locations. Each photographer will have a private room. We'll visit at least one beach location daily and have villa shoots.

Most of us will arrive a few days early to adjust to the time difference and rest after a long flight. I recommend this for everyone because it can be tough to come from Europe, for example, and go straight to the shoot. I have gathered some information about how to make the arrival in Bali easier and things that can be good to know. I will send out these details along with all the necessary information once participation is confirmed.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions regarding the events.

Our first model is the amazing Dasha! She was one of the models on my event in March 2025 but she was the replacement model. I have worked with her before and she is always good. But this time in Bali she really shined so I decided to bring her again for this new event. The photos below was shot by me during the event in March this year.

When I was in Bali in March this year I met Liza. We shot together a couple of times in Bali and we also had some shoots after that. She is really great to work with and her movement and posing is top level. Most of the photos below were shot by me in Bali. Her unique look and red hair will bring some extra flavour to the model line up!

Last but not least we have Anastasiia whom I worked with a few times already. She is professional, experienced and she always delivers good results. Her body and her unique look makes her a perfect match together with the other two models.

Location

We will stay in the south of the island. I like this area because it is less crowded and the beaches are much nicer. This is more suitable for photography. Below, you can see some photos of the villa location to get an idea of what we can create there. It is a beautiful place with a lot of light, making it a perfect location! It is also a very comfortable and pleasant stay, which I think is important.

Inspiration

Almost all photos of the models for the event were shot in Bali so they can serve as inspiration. To give you some more ideas of what you can create I have listed some of my photos from previous travels to Bali. These are just examples and I’m pretty sure we will all get amazing content from this trip!

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. It is also a good idea to only bring the essentials since carrying a heavy bag when walking to the beaches can be hard, especially in the hot weather so keep that in mind. Feel free to ask me for advice.
