“Build Your Portfolio With Curated Shoots.”
Application-intensive photography workshops in Berlin, Istanbul & London.
My practical photography workshops offer skill-focused training, not theoretical lectures. These hands-on programs are tailored to help you master specialized fields like beauty, ballet, and commercial product photography. You will develop your talents through projects and practical training based on real-life, professionally curated scenarios with agency models, makeup artists, and stylists. Workshops are available in English and Turkish.
Why These Workshops?
- Small, Focused Groups: We guarantee personalized attention with a maximum of 4-6 participants per session.
- 100% Application-Based: This is not a seminar. You will be shooting to create real portfolio pieces.
- Professionally “Curated” Shoots: All lighting, styling, and professional models are prepared for you. Just bring your camera.
- Prime Studio Locations: Workshops are held in fully-equipped professional photo studios in Berlin, Istanbul, and for project-based work in London.
