“BIRDS” workshop – Leuven, Belgium
Hi. Thank you for being here and opening yourself up to the possibility of developing your photographic skills with me right now.
The first thing I would like to convey to you is this, each of us is creative, you are too, and with the proper use of this potential you are capable of creating works similar to mine and even much better.
My hope is that you will let me be your guide in discovering your talent and building your photographic confidence.
I love to share my knowledge and ten years of photographic experience.
I am constantly working on improving my workshop and enriching my program, so that a photographer like you feels special with me and, above all, to understand that it is in him that the power of creation lies.

group workshops
why is this workshop special?
I often hear from my clients that my photos are unique and ones they definitely can’t take with a phone. These days, these words are extremely relevant, because in the age of mobile photography, it makes sense to reach out to those who want to commemorate a piece of their lives in a unique way, far from what can be achieved by reaching for a smartphone.
Our meeting in Skierniewice is one of the offers I prepare for photographers looking for a way to stand out from the competition.
It’s not just a workshop on retouching, on how to prepare and run a plein air shoot, and on learning how to work with light.
It’s a meeting after which you will no longer have the fear of working with children, teenagers and animals at the same time.
During this workshop you will learn not only how to prepare a classic commercial frame, but also how to create a fairy-tale image for your VIP client to hang on the wall of their home.
My job is to give you the knowledge you need to create painterly shots that will make you stand out from the crowd and make your client recommend you to other beauty-sensitive people.
in addition, we will discuss together

techniques to get the most out of Camera RAW,
