INDIVIDUAL WORSKHOP
Concept
Photography remains an exchange between the photographer and the model. With my years of experience in this field, I propose to share my experience.
This workshop is designed to help photographers improve their relationship with the models during the shoot and develop their skills. Participants will have the opportunity to discover how to work with a model in an atmosphere of trust and respect as well as practical tips on managing styling and shooting.
Through this workshop, I also want to show my fellow photographers that it is possible to create beautiful images without having a high-end studio/place.
Finally, the workshop will offer opportunities for feedback and criticism to help photographers improve their work and develop their personal style.
For this workshop, the shoot will take place in an apartment of 70m² located in Rueil-Malmaison: bright, ideal for natural light but also with a studio part. Different sets can be created in the latter.
