with KARSTEN STAIGER
Do you want to photograph portraits like a professional?
With simple lighting, a clear idea, and a genuine feel for people?
The truth is:
You don’t need a high-end studio or a complex lighting setup.
You need a trained eye, a feel for people – and the right understanding of light.
That’s exactly what you’ll learn in the Portrait Lab.
2 Days / 6 persons
DATES:
PFORZHEIM 14/15 März
BLACK FOREST 21/22 März
In this 2 day workshop, I’ll show you how to get more out of every shoot using a few light sources, a clear concept, and intentional communication. You don’t need a big studio – just the knowledge of how to truly see.
Do you want to start your photography career?
Or do you photograph out of passion and want to take your talent to the next level?
Maybe you’d like to create images at your next family event that truly move people?
Then this workshop is exactly right for you.
