About the workshop
Once again with the outstanding Sonya! As you probably have understood already she is one of my favourite models to shoot! Sonya is always great to work with and her posing and movement is incredible! My workshop is a unique opportunity to work with her because she is currently not available on any other workshops! The majority of the photos of Sonya below was shot by me in the same location during our coachings and workshops last year.
Before you say oh no this workshop is in Poland.. It is so easy and cheap to get the there. I have been there several times and it is super easy and convenient. In Poland is also relatively cheap compared to other countries in Europe. It’s easy to move around in Warsaw using Bolt or Uber. The exact address will be provided shortly after booking. If you need any advice about where to stay, how to get from the airport to the hotel etc just let me know. It is very easy and I have done it several times already. I’ll be happy to help out.
*** Since this is a short notice workshop it is important to book as soon as possible. If you’re still interested but can’t book right now please let me know. It is also important to check with me first before you book something non refundable! ***
On this workshop we will shoot natural light. The best thing with natural light is that it is faster and easier to make changes and create a variation in the set. It is also important to understand that on this workshop we will shoot artistic and beautiful photos in the following genres: Lifestyle, sensual and lingerie. There might also be some semi nude but this is up to the model to decide. Everything I will teach you at the workshop are my original ideas that have been tested over years! Only five participants each day will result in much individual quality shooting time. Expand your portfolio with beautiful images of Sonya! The workshop will be in English and the model also speaks English.
Individual coaching
This is available on request the day before or after the workshop. An individual coaching is tailored for your needs and it includes a lot more shooting 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
Location
This workshop will take place in a bright and beautiful natural light “apartment style” studio in Warsaw. This place is to me very inspiring to shoot at because of the exceptionally good light there. You can also see some photos of the location itself below.
There will be different locations for each day. The first 4 photos are of the location fot the Saturday and the last 4 are the location for the Sunday. They are very similar with small differences.
Knowledge and equipment
To participate you need to know 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 are not that experienced with shooting models since 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.
