Private 2 Days Course (aka ‘EduShoot’)

  Course Synopsis

We call our private 2 day course ‘EduShoot’ because it’s a hands-on learning workshop that was created for two simple reasons: You LEARN on the fly & SHOOT gorgeous images for your first portfolio.

We teach you how to create amazing images in different situations and setups on the spot. You also learn how to interact with models and crew members on set.

After just 2 days you will not only leave our premises with a greater understanding of model/women photography itself, but with countless real-world “tricks” and actionable advice that let you organize future shoots on your own. Plus, you shoot real results for showcasing your work to future models and the world.
