TWO DAYS. ONE COMPLETE EXPERIENCE.

THE PROGRAMME

Two days in a Hamburg studio with Marta Ponsko and Julia Marse. 10 live briefs, hands-on practice, and direct feedback.

DAY ONE · THREE SHOOTS

CONTROL THE STUDIO

LIGHTING · POSING · TECHNIQUE

By the end of day one you can build a portrait on purpose — and say why every light is where it is.

  • •Strobes and continuous light — when each one earns its place
  • •Clean portrait lighting you can repeat on a paying client
  • •Modifiers and contrast: why this one, at this distance
  • •Posing real bodies — men, women, maternity
  • •Directing someone who has never posed before
  • •Building control you can rely on under pressure

DAY TWO · THREE SHOOTS

BREAK THE RULES

EDITORIAL · COLOUR · CREATIVE

By the end of day two you have taken a safe photograph somewhere it would not normally go — on purpose, and repeatably.

  • •Creative lighting: hard light, colour and movement
  • •Multiple sources — and when to stop adding them
  • •Fashion-inspired posing, shape and motion
  • •Building a photograph around a concept, not a setup
  • •Shutter drag, deliberate blur, partial sharpness
  • •From safe to editorial — without losing the client

HOW IT WORKS

HOW IT WORKS

HOW EVERY SETUP RUNS

You watch it built. You hear why each decision was made. Then you shoot it yourself, with both of us there to correct you.

SIX SHOOTS OVER TWO DAYS

Men, women and maternity. Lighting and direction change completely with the person in front of you — that is the part you take home.

AND THE PART NOBODY TEACHES

Pricing, positioning and marketing — how to get paying clients to choose the bolder photograph.
