Hi. If you’ve looked here, perhaps it’s a sign that it’s time for you to stay with me for a while longer and take a big step in developing your photographic skills.

The first thing I’d like to tell you is that you too are creative and can do exactly the same things as me, but you may not know it yet.

My hope is that you will let me be your guide in discovering your potential and creating something special with you.

The workshop in Germany is a two-day group meeting that includes both studio and outdoor work.

Agenda - how it looks like

day one

10:00 Start

  • Aperture, depth, focal length, time – topics that you know well, but nevertheless worth repeating before going outdoors(this step is often skipped if the group does not need it)
  • Awakening creativity-an exercise to help you change your thinking about making your frames
  • Stages of creating a creative image – what, how and when to photograph to get a consistent result
  • Working on oneself – motivation for self-development, influence of chosen goals on further photographic activities
  • Working with the customer – finding balance in negotiations
  • Portfolio – discussing several of my works, which will be the basis for learning how to create compositions
  • Social media – some tips on how to manage your photographer profile

12:00 Studio

  • I will teach you how to set up the lights for many different variations and how to work with the model.
  • This is a time for a joint session and practice, during which you will feel by your own example the importance of proper light positioning.

14:00 – Lunch break

15:00 – Open air

  • Preparation of the session plan and the stages of work with the model
  • A few words about emotions – what we want to show and how to work with the model for future cooperation
  • A joint session in the open air, exploring perspective, light and color

Together we will create an extraordinary atmosphere that will make your photos unique. Together, forming a team of creatives, we will discuss and make several frames, from classic commercial shots , to shots that give us the creation of a fairy-tale atmosphere.

A small group will allow for free work and a lot of fun, which I will wholeheartedly participate in.
