About the event
I'm pleased to announce that I will be returning to the Netherlands in June to host another photo event. This will be a two-day event featuring three exceptional models. To ensure much shooting time for everyone, we are limiting participation to just six photographers per day. You have the option to join for one or both days.
The first model I've chosen for our upcoming event is the remarkable Layana. Standing tall, she is a visual delight with a commanding presence. Layana's captivating curves add an element of sensuality, enhancing her allure. Despite many models in the industry, Layana's distinctive qualities make her an ideal choice for our event.
Laure Surlerivage, our second model, brings an uncommon depth of artistic flair to our event. Her intriguing appearance, characterized by her unique style and allure, adds a touch of intrigue that captivates the audience. Moreover, Laure's distinctive poses, a blend of elegance and creativity, set her apart from the crowd, making her a natural choice for our event. Her contribution promises to elevate the event, adding a layer of sophistication and artistic intrigue.
Hanna, our third model, has been selected due to a variety of reasons that surfaced during our recent collaboration. Her professional demeanor and warm personality make her an ideal choice for our upcoming event. Moreover, Hanna is not just an ordinary model. She possesses a unique style that sets her apart and adds a touch of individuality to her work. This distinct style has had a profound impact on me as a photographer and has served as a source of inspiration. Hanna's combination of personal warmth and professional style is sure to contribute to the success of our event.
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 to inspire creativity. We will rotate the groups, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to shoot with each model, which guarantees a lot of shooting time.
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. The four black and white photos were captured by me in the factory area during last year's event.
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. Pick-ups from these locations will be organized as needed. 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.

Where: Dongen, Netherlands
Time: 11.00-18.00
