theme of the workshop
In this workshop, we will focus on creating natural and emotional black-and-white portraits in urban spaces using only available light. goal to recognize different lighting situations on the street and use them specifically for your own portrait photos.
During the workshop, we will discuss and use different types of lighting, examine their effects, and discuss their possible applications as well as their respective advantages and disadvantages for street portraits.
Another focus is my "Light Comes First" concept and its special significance on the street. I will show you how motif selection, positioning, and image composition can be oriented toward light in order to achieve harmonious and expressive results.
In addition, we discuss the importance of good image composition and why it is more important than the actual subject. We explain theme perspective, line guidance, background design, and image balance using specific situations in public spaces and put them into practice immediately.
We work in a small group of five photographers. Our working area covers the Belgian Quarter in Cologne, which offers numerous opportunities for portraits thanks to its diverse architecture, varying lighting conditions, and urban structures.
