About the event
I decided to add another event in Dongen because the first one in May is about to get full very soon. This time of the year is is great to shoot in this location because the outdoor area is warm and you can even shoot outdoors. There are many cool spots around there.
On every event I have 3 amazing models and only 6 photographers each day to make sure there is plenty of shooting time for everyone. On the second event in 2025 I bring you something special. The first model out is Anna Pénzes! She had a break from modelling for a while but she is finally back. One of my favourite models. Her body is fantastic, her face even better and her posing is perfect! As the second model I decided to bring Blum! She is a very unique and interesting model. I have another workshop planned with her but it is basically full already so I decided to bring her to this event as well. Last but not least we have Petra. I worked with her several times already and I know she will shine on an event like this. She is one of those models who you need to shoot to understand how good she is. Very inspirational to work with and you won’t be disappointed!
This is a photo event, not a regular workshop, so the emphasis will be on shooting time. Participants will be grouped into pairs, each with a model. We will rotate the groups, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to shoot with each model, which guarantees a lot of shooting time. All the models will shoot up to artistic nude unless something special is mentioned.
My role is to provide assistance, share innovative concepts, and ignite your creativity. My aim is to ensure you leave with extraordinary, one-of-a-kind photographs of our trio of exquisite, professional models. This unique setting further enhances the visual appeal and distinctiveness of your captures. Let's transform your vision into reality together!
The location
The highlight of this event, apart from the models, is the amazing location. Our expansive studio features several rooms, each with its distinct style. Additionally, there's a large "factory" section providing a rugged backdrop for our shoots. Take a look at the photos below.
Knowledge and equipment
To participate, no special knowledge or skill level is required; however, you must be able to shoot independently at all times. While I'll be there to help and provide advice as needed, it's essential for you to operate without continual assistance. When it comes to equipment, you don't need much. I suggest lenses of 50mm, 85mm, 24-70mm, 70-200mm, or similar. Ideally, your lens should have a focal length between 50mm and less than 100mm. As we'll be shooting in natural light, it's beneficial to have a prime lens with a large maximum aperture or a zoom lens with a 2.8 aperture.
Where and how to get there
The location is situated in a place called Dongen, near the Belgium border and not too far from Germany. For instance, it's less than a 2.5-hour drive from Cologne. If you're flying in, you can land in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, or Eindhoven, and cover the remaining distance by train. From Amsterdam and Rotterdam, the train to Breda is available. From Eindhoven, you can journey to Tilburg. Additionally, there are several hotels I can recommend for anyone planning to stay overnight and participate on both days. Don't hesitate to ask if you need any information regarding travel possibilities.
