Portrait Photography Workshop — Light. Emotion.
About the event
Do you want to create deliberate, refined portraits rather than merely technically correct photos?
Join a practical portrait photography workshop in a professional photo studio — designed to genuinely raise your skill level and strengthen your portfolio.
This is not a training of ready-made schemes. It's a full production set where you learn to work as you would on real commercial assignments.
During the workshop:
- you will learn classic and creative flash and LED lighting setups (beauty, fashion, business, editorial) - we will go through a wide range of lighting
- you will understand working with modifiers, contrast and light direction
- you will learn to build a portrait starting from emotion, not equipment
- you will practise working with a model - communication, posing and leading a person in front of the lens
- you will work on composition, framing and studio minimalism
Everything step by step, with clear explanations why a given solution works.
What sets these workshops apart?
- work with a professional model, great makeup and styling
- many lighting setups and real time to photograph
- concrete knowledge from the practice of a professional photographer
- photos you can use in your portfolio
Who is it for?
- beginner and intermediate photographers
- people thinking about commercial work
- those who want to work with models more confidently
- photographers wanting to build a stronger portfolio
What will you take away?
- a series of refined portraits
- a conscious approach to studio lighting
- a clear process for working on portraits
- practical techniques for immediate use
Intimate atmosphere. Limited places, max. 6 participants.
Cost: 1299 zł / person — for the first 2 people and returning participants 1099 zł.
This is an investment that pays off quickly:
better photos → better portfolio → better commissions.
