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
light&cień
techniques to get the most out of Camera RAW,
The essence of working with light in skin retouching,
local and global dodge and burn,
working with mixing modes
working with Blend If options
color

What my students are saying
I had the great privilege of attending a workshop with Mariola and fell in love with her teaching and the person she is! She not only teaches us the secrets behind her amazing photos, but also pushes us to push ourselves forward. It pushes the boundaries of our creativity while giving us the tools to achieve it. Definitely a course worth recommending!
Thank you Mariola for sharing your knowledge with us, for your patience in answering our questions and for your generosity in sharing such useful tips. I really enjoyed your sharing your creative process with us. This workshop exceeded my expectations!
This workshop changed my concept of this art (photography). Finally, after many workshops, I found someone who forces us to work on our creativity and explains to us how to really see the world and get inspiration from it. It was the best choice, and the editing technique will make your head explode in a good way.
Mariola's workshop in Merida was one of the best I've attended. Not only is she a great teacher and an expert at what she does, but her availability and willingness to teach you everything she can is admirable.
Thank you Mariola.
I would sign up again without hesitation!
Wanting to expand his skills, he is still educating and for the next time with a professional and artist with many years of professional experience - Mariola Glajcar. Thanks to this, I improved my practical and technical skills, which direct my work towards an artistic approach to photography.
I had the amazing opportunity to attend Mariola's workshop and it was more than fantastic. Mariola is an inspiring photographer with amazing creativity and passion. She discussed in depth the preliminary work, photo shoot and post-production that she uses to create her works.
From start to finish it was a magical experience!!!
I really have no words how to describe this workshop. Amazing experience. The places Mariola chose were magical. I love the photo shoot at dusk on the beach. I learned a lot from Mariola, and all the knowledge she shared was amazing and inspiring. Thank you very much
Workshops at Mariola Glajcar's are one of the best money invested in photography training! Undoubtedly, Mariola is eager to share her knowledge and does it in a clear, understandable and comprehensive manner. In addition, she is a nice and warm person who creates a science-friendly atmosphere. I recommend in 100%.
Mentoring! This is what these workshops should be called. Passion, talent, full commitment to transfer knowledge. Despite the fact that it was a group workshop, I felt like I was on a 1-on-1 course. Huge attention to the participants if everyone has what they need. I definitely recommend it! I will probably come back. If only to be able to work together again
My recent workshop in Merida was a dream come true for me! Mariola is not only an amazing photographer and artist, but also an amazing person with a big heart. She made me feel like her friend from the first moment I met her in person.
Thank you very much for the two wonderful days we spent together. It was an enriching and inspiring workshop. I enjoyed being present in the process of a talented photographer and learning more new things from you. You are amazing.
It was a great experience to host Mariola in Lima, Peru. She shared her knowledge and took us to the next level of our work. As an educator, she is excellent, she is clear at all times, she gives us the confidence to clarify information with more difficulty
