PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS PRICING

Without going crazy or drowning in boring and useless details, let's start from scratch. But let's do it right: the camera, the framing, light and shadows, speed, aperture, ISO, studio and exterior, flash, tripod, portraying people, things, nothing, everything. Tips and tricks. Indoor and outdoor workshop. Bring all the equipment you may have at home!

It does take time. A lot of dedication and patience. A detailed work that can be very rewarding. I will guide you through the process of portraying objects, from very small to cars, bright things, and transparent things, with or without a person as a model. 360º too. Lighting, framing, special equipment. How to fulfill the client's wishes. The differences between taking photos for your own pleasure, and on assignment.

Creating compelling portrait photographs How to make people pose, how to illuminate them, indoor and outdoor, how to talk to them, how to guide them, make them feel comfortable and capture their personality. You may portray important people: don't be intimidated, you're in charge. Large groups? Piece of cake. Black and white or color? Digital fix, styling, hairstyle, makeup, clothes.

I have developed a unique technique to portray people in an aquatic environment, be it a swimming pool, sea, puddle, lake, or river ... how to be efficient, fast, precise. The subject may not be used to being underwater, eyes open, and holding their breath. But I manage to have them do it. And I hope to make you do it too.

How to take fashion pictures indoors and outdoors? Preparation. Makeup is important. The dressing room too. Styling is everything. How to lead the session. The model: pose and guide. Make it fun. How to illuminate the set, and how to take advantage of the environment. Frame, frame, and yes, frame it even better! What about post-production? Software to smooth the skin and other tricks. How much should I charge for a session? And we will address many more topics.

It is much more complicated than you may think. But not impossible, of course! Lights and shadows, and especially the connection with the client. How to make them feel comfortable. Set taboos aside. Go straight to the point. Extreme respect. And end up exhausted, but with beautiful pictures in the box.

Learn how to shoot in situations of very low light, sunset, sunrise, full moon, and dark nights: we will go to incredible places from late afternoon into the night until you have the right photo. Waters in motion or landscapes, people or rocks, you want your photos to stand out! What is the right time? We will approach the technique of "painting with light". Remote shutters. Long exposure, ISO. Only outdoors. Bring the equipment you have. Tripod. Flash may be necessary. The remote shutter would be perfect to have. Walking shoes, warm clothes.

All right, some people like it, others don't. Personally, I've turned it into my best friend instead of hating it. Shadows, please! I want shadows! Portraying products and people. Equipment: how to use, when. Cordless vs. plugged-in. Indoor vs. outdoor. We will be mostly indoors and some hours outdoors. Bring your equipment, camera, flashes, and light stands if you have some; you may have many questions about using them.

At the right time, in the right place. And you will surely have to come back more than once! That is landscape photography. Patience, bugs, bites, sun, cold, humidity. It can be quite physical sometimes. But take your time to enjoy nature, and your image will transport you right there every time you look at it. And if it transports other people where you've been, if it makes you feel the clouds over your head and the rocks under your feet, smell the trees and wet moss, then you've done it! Tripods and other equipment, lenses, filters, remote shutters, what to pack. We will talk about the photography of night landscapes, even if it is the subject of another complete workshop: Night and Little Light.

What does it take to portray people on the street? How to approach people in the city? How to respect them? Family, friends, and strangers. Events, concerts, carnivals. Spontaneous. Attractive. City and countryside, the difference. Traveling to a foreign country.

High-speed photography is extremely fun! But it does require a good amount of patience and time. The results are always amazing when done right. This workshop will teach you all the amazing things we can do. And discover wonders you never thought of.

For your business, for others' businesses, for your pleasure, how to improve your photographs using the mobile you have at hand. How to illuminate. Products, people, portraits, selfies, landscapes ... we will focus on what interests you.

Small small small! This is about small things. So let’s go for them. Equipment, rails, bellows, and high-tech devices are finally available. Illumination. Living subjects: how is it done? Techniques and more techniques. But tricks too. Software and postproduction. If you have some, bring the macro equipment you may have.

How to portray your pet (or other people's pets) whether indoors, in a studio, or outdoors. Dogs and cats, of course, but how about guinea pigs, rabbits, birds, parrots, fish, turtles, or other more exotic pets you have at home? Reptiles, spiders...

Well, let's see how it's done, when, where, at what temperature, in what environment, at what time ... better up close, better from afar, better without being seen. Which camera, which lens, which lights. Everything.

Portraying children may seem easy, and it is. They are spontaneous and beautiful. Funny and cheerful. But sometimes they don't want to. Sometimes they cry. Sometimes they get angry.

How is it done? How to behave according to your age, your personality. Respect first of all: they are small adults. Illumination. Wardrobe and styling. How long will they stand before the camera? In-studio and outdoor: two opposite worlds. And much more.

Flowers and leaves, fungi, fruits, and all those beautiful details that Mother Nature brings to us for the pleasure of our lens. Macro and normal photography. Illumination. Equipment. Respect for nature before all. Photographs outdoors and in-studio. And discover the wonders that surround us.

How to photograph buildings, inside and out. Houses, villas, apartments, large spaces, small spaces. Doing assignments for real estate, Booking.com, Airbnb...How to increase real estate sales thanks to spectacular photos. Which equipments to use. Virtual tours and 360º.

Okay, I admit it, I hate talking about gears! And about technique, even more horrible. But it's necessary. So let's go through the meanders of the grand theories, tricks, and equipment that make up our photographic world! Your own equipment is welcome because I'm sure you'll have questions about it, and you'll want to practice with them.

They also have the right to learn to photograph or film as God intended! So from 8 years of age, 10, 14, or 16 years old, here I am to put a professional camera in their hands and have them discover how to use it, how to frame, how to control aperture, speed, ISO, and everything else. Whatever they want to achieve and are willing to learn.

We will photograph whatever they want: flowers, landscapes, people, pets... We'll probably do it mostly outdoors. The idea is to have fun and learn so that we can steal Dad's or Mom’s camera occasionally and amaze everybody!

Oh…this is pure stress, the production side of our job. But without production, nothing happens. And without a good, well-planned production, disaster may strike. Often underestimated, hidden behind their walkie-talkies, the production staff is essential.

In this course, we will cover every aspect of the pre-production, and production of any shoot, either photo, video, or motion picture, depending on your interests: planning, quoting, scouting, models and actors, rentals, permits, behaviors, resolving issues, setups, coms…and much more.
