About the workshop
New workshop with the amazing and beautiful Kelly Collins! We worked together in Frankfurt recently and I really liked working with her so we planned workshop in Sweden! Kelly is great with posing (as you can see in these photos) and she have a very positive attitude which makes the shooting even better.
It will be a studio workshop. The best thing with studio work is that you can shoot in any weather, any light and at any time of the day. It is perfect for this time of the year in Europe when the days are shorter. All of the lighting skill approaches I will teach you can be utilized in both studio and natural light settings so you can keep sharpening your photographic skills during the winter months. The more I shoot in the studio the more interesting it becomes as it can be filled with endless creativity.
Everything I will teach and you will learn are my original ideas that have been tested over years of studio experience to produce beautiful and consistent imagery. Only five participants each day will result in much individual quality shooting time.
We will shoot four styles each day from fashion to lingerie to nude. Expand your portfolio with beautiful images of the beautiful Kelly! Drinks, coffee and snacks are included! The workshop will be in English and the model also speaks English.
Individual coaching
This is available on Friday January 17th. There are two slots available, 11.00-14.00 and 15.00-18.00. An individual coaching is tailored for your needs and it includes a lot more shooing time than a workshop. Great opportunity to get more deep knowledge and to make sure you get a lot of great photos with my guidance!

Knowledge and equipment
To participate there is no special knowledge or skill level needed other than knowing about the basic camera settings such as iso, aperture, shutter speed, white balance etc. My way of working and explaining is very easy to understand. I can promise great results even if you have nerver worked a model or shot with studio lights before.
In terms of equipment it is not that much needed. I recommend 50mm or 85mm or 24-70mm or 70-200mm or similar lenses. Ideally you should have a lens with a focal length between 50mm and less than 100mm.
Location
The studio is located just outside of Malmö. Instructions how to get there with either car or public transport will be provided shortly after booking. f you plan to travel from another country you should look for flights to Copenhagen. It is very easy to fly there from many cities around Europe. To get to Malmö takes only 18 minutes with the train and you can go straight from Copenhagen airport.
