theme of the workshop

Natural and sensual portraits, boudoir 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 any situation and to put your model in the right scene.

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

For the most natural look of the pictures we use scenic image compositions. 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.
