About the event
My second event in Dongen for 2026! As always with great model and a lot of shooting time! Two models are confirmed. First out is Anastasiia who have been on this event before. I just had a shoot with her in Bali which was really great so I decided to ask her again.
Our second model is Darina whom I worked with many times already. She is one of the best and never disappoints. If you haven’t shot her yet I really recommend you to do it!
I’m still searching for model nr 3 and I can guarantee it will be a good model.
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.
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.
