On the first day you will meet Szymon Brodziak and his team of stylists, hair stylists and makeup artists as well as the entire team of “My-Photo-Workshop”. We will support you throughout the entire workshop.
As an introduction to the world of black and white photography Szymon will initially show a selection of photographs and video`s from some of his black and white campaigns. In this context, Szymon will show you his effectiv and professional way to approach a photo shoot and how to convert this. You will learn from him the best way to handle your models and he will give you tips for your communication towards the team to achieve the desired results.

Afterwards the participants will be divided into the group of two. In this group constellation, participants will be able to work optimally together by alternating slip into the role of the active photographer or the the passive assistant.

Each group of two select a individuel topic, ideally meets the needs and desires of both participants and is adapted to both participants. The photographic work will be discussed and planned with Szymon and the expert team of stylists, makeup artists and hair stylists. This includes the choice of the light source and light settings, the perfect location (e.g. old factory building, historical rooms or modern architecture) and, if necessary, the choice of different, existing clothes and accessories which are made available through our partner fashion atelier. The choice of the models will be drawn.

Day 2:
At the second day it is finally time!
You will implement what you have learned by translating your own concept into action… The models will be prepared, the light optimally set - so you have a lot of time to photograph. The entire expert team of Szymon will support you throughout the whole day.
