About the event
My events in Dongen, Netherlands are always popular so we will continue in 2025. I have to make these event during the warmer months of the year because a large part of the location lack proper heating but in May it is fine.
As always we have 3 amazing models and only 6 photographers each day to make sure there is plenty of shooting time for everyone. For this event our first model is Yoana Nikolova. She is always great to work with. Her positive attitude and her prosing makes her a joy to shoot. She have been featured in Playboy several times last year and she was also Miss February 2024! Our second model is Sophie La Sage! Her red hair, intense eyes and her figure makes her truly unique and a great addition to our event! Lest but not least we have Anastasiia who is really amazing to work with. She is playful, fun and very experienced and professional. You will realise how good she is once you work with her!
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!
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.
