theme of the workshop

Cool and lively portraits, lifestyle and nude images are the goal of our workshop. It is important to create a basic understanding of photography with available light. With "Light Comes First" & "Right Level of Contrast" I give you successful concepts to master natural light in every situation and to set the right scene for your model.

Boudoir and especially nude photography are very sensitive shooting areas. Communication with the model and building trust are the key to exceptional photos. In my workshop I will show you how to do both in a simple and effective way.

To take lively yet sensual pictures, you need to understand the sensual form language of the body. Your perspective of the model, the right distance and the right focal length are crucial for a successful photo. The right crop is also of great importance, not only for the photo itself, but also for publication on various platforms and social media with different formats, such as Instagram.

"Attitude" is the secret of "Crazy Sexy Cool". To achieve this, the choice of model is crucial, but outfits and accessories also round off the look.

We use scenic compositions to make the pictures look as lively as possible. Dynamic framings, leading and depth lines and a lively set design are the secret of my photography. Create authentic-looking photos instead of static, staged-looking images.

Color or black and white is primarily a question of the shooting situation and only secondarily a question of image processing. In my color photos, I already place great emphasis on a stringent color composition during the shooting, which supports the harmony and sensuality of the image. In black and white photos, on the other hand, we focus on clear contrasts and special light compositions.

Equipment

You will need a digital SLR camera or mirrorless camera and prime lenses for the workshop. Ideal focal lengths are between 35-85mm or prime zooms from 24-70mm or 70-200mm.

Location

Contrary to what Ksenia's sample photos and the name of our studio might suggest, "DIE SCHWARZWEISSMALEREI" is a great place for harmonious color photos. Since its renovation, the studio shines in new splendor, with new, creative furniture, beautiful, harmonizing lime paint and lively style elements. The existing wooden floor is a photographer's dream and the large north-facing windows provide the studio with fantastic, soft light even on dark winter days.
