1 day workshop in creative beauty photography:
"I am NOT technical and I never will be.". It is a phrase that I have ALWAYS said when I have been asked about teaching or holding workshops.
The idea was shot down immediately. "What can I teach other photographers and those interested in photography??" "They expect all the technical stuff." "I just do it...." That's just a FRACTION of the doubts that are in the queue when I have occasionally considered whether I should look into it too much. From there, the ideas are just discarded and forgotten...
UNTIL!…..
I was contacted by a photography club (Gate 5) whose members had asked if I would hold a workshop and we talked about it thoroughly. Of course, I came up with all my little "can't" thoughts, but at THAT moment the tide turned and something clicked: I don't have to teach the technical stuff - I can teach the CREATIVE!!! Thinking outside the box, going through how I work and showing how I think when I have to "play" with flowers, light, etc. Simply EVERYTHING I go through before/during/after a shoot where I want to be creative. Showing how I communicate with models, what I emphasize in the actual shoot, etc.
VOILA! This is where my workshop was born! 1 day workshop in creative beauty photography, where EVERYONE can join
Beauty photography is SO MUCH more than technical skills….. I am living proof of that!
What exactly IS beauty?
Beauty for me equals makeup, colors, texture. Where cosmetics and creativity are paramount and retouching must be RIGHT in the closet. There are NO limits to how creative you can/can be!! See my beauty shots HERE
I am not addressing photographers who have just unpacked their camera from the box, but rather photographers who know their camera, who want to be inspired, who need a kick in the inspiration, who love creative play but can't really get started, who want to make pictures for magazines around the world, etc. You do NOT need to be a professional photographer – as long as you have knowledge of your own camera, I will do the "rest"
** This is not a workshop in technique or retouching **
I will of course cover basic things about lighting, but more in practice than in in-depth lecture-like explanations
On the 13th of November I will be holding my very very very first 1 day workshop in creative beauty photography and I am SO GLAD!!! I can reveal that I have a few surprises up my sleeve for the participants 😉

I'm not going to hide the fact that it's SUPER transgressive, but I am clear mentally now and I'm really looking forward to it!
are you coming I will look forward to THAT if you do
