program

12:00 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

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.
