About the workshop
Rebecca Bagnol is always a great model to work with. She is very professional and experienced and it really shows in her performance on the workshops! Always great results! This time we will do three days but the booking for the Friday will start once the other days are getting filled up. Right now it shows Friday as sold out but it is only because I have not activated any tickets yet. If you wish to reserve a spot for Friday in advance you can do that by sending me an email.
On this workshop we will shoot natural light. The first set is planned to be in my apartment and then later we continue outside. It all depends on the weather we have on that day. Either way this will give you lot’s of great photos to walk away with from the day. All of the lighting skill approaches I will teach you can be utilized in both natural light and in the studio. Learning more about natural light will also improve your skills with studio lights and the other way around. In case of a problematic weather situation, such as rain all day, we will stay in the studio.
Everything I will teach and you will learn 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.
We will shoot four styles each day from lifestyle to sensual to semi nude. Expand your portfolio with beautiful images shot with natural light with the beautiful Rebecca! Drinks, coffee and snacks are included! The workshop will be in English and the model also speaks English.

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. 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.

The workshop will begin at my home in Malmö. The location is within walking distance from trains and public transport. It is easy access from the highway or if you come from Denmark with the car (or train). Parking is available in the area. The exact address will be provided shortly after booking.
