About the workshop
Almost 3 years later and me and Sonya are back in Frankfurt! We did our first workshop together here in this studio in the beginning of 2022. She is my absolute favourite model to work with and I’m excited to be back with her in Frankfurt!
On this workshop we will shoot natural light. This will give you a lot of photos you will walk away with from the day. We will shoot four styles each day from lifestyle, fashion, lingerie and semi nude. The best thing with working with natural light is that it is faster and easier to make changes and it is also easier to get a lot of variety in your photos. All of the lighting skill approaches I will teach you can be utilized in both studio and natural light settings so you can improve your photographic skills during the winter months.
Everything I will teach you at the workshop are my original ideas that have been tested over years of hard work as there are no short cuts in photography! Only five participants each day will result in much individual quality shooting time.
Expand your portfolio with beautiful images of the beautiful Sonya! The workshop will be in English and the model also speaks English.
Individual coaching
This is available on Friday February 21st. There are two slots available, 10.00-13.00 and 14.00-17.00. 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 of an amazing model with my guidance!
Some of the main topics
- How to achieve good colors and especially great skin tones

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 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. Since we will shoot natural light it is an advantage to have a prime lens with a large maximum aperture or a zoom lens with 2.8 aperture.
Location
The workshop will take place in a studio in Rodgau-Weiskirchen (which is near Frankfurt). It’s easy to get to the studio by car or by public transport from Frankfurt. Detailed instructions will be provided shortly after booking. The Frankfurt airport is very well connected and it is easy to fly there from many cities around Europe.
