Photography workshops are my great pedagogical passion 😉 I have always liked sharing knowledge and experience, and discovering the secrets of photography is pure pleasure – I meet people who share my passion, we have a lot of common topics, and I can (if necessary for hours) talk about what I love. And I get paid for it… 😉 What more could you want?
I organize everything you need: make-up, models, studio and, if necessary, outdoors or indoors. I care about meals, coffee and a good atmosphere. And I provide as much knowledge as possible with an emphasis on practice – a short introduction and then as much of my own work as possible under my supervision. And after all – if you want and you’re not afraid 😉 – I can review your best works if you send them to me by e-mail.
I invite you to participate in courses, training and workshops – both group and individual. Over the many years of my work as a photographer, I have had the opportunity to conduct many such trainings – also for photographers from abroad (including from the USA, Great Britain, Sweden, Norway and Russia). I have run workshops and photography groups in schools (high school, primary school) as well as in various institutions (e.g. the International Cultural Center in the Main Market Square in Krakow).

A few quotes from testimolnials:

What can I offer?
During the workshops, I provide students with comprehensive assistance at every stage of their photographic development. I help beginners in the proper setting of the camera, light and model, and I advise even more advanced photographers how to find the best composition or a more interesting lamp setting. For the most advanced users, I simply let them enjoy taking photos, limiting themselves to small hints. I am always available if you have any questions or doubts.
Individual workshops and courses
- the subject matter of such a course is determined in consultation with the student – in terms of his needs and what he wants to learn – e.g. portraits, children and family photography, photography in the studio or outdoors, etc.).
- If the topic of the course requires it, I provide excellent, experienced models as well as support from a make-up artist, thanks to which the work is smooth, effective and guarantees good results
- After the workshop, each student can send me up to 20 photographs for critical analysis – I point out all the positives and errors, explaining as precisely as possible how to correct them.
- emphasis on practice – a short theoretical part and then exercises
- I have a well-equipped studio
Group workshops
- the topics of the workshops can be imposed in advance (e.g. portrait workshops, family photography workshops, pin up workshops, etc.) or if a given group has its own idea and expectations regarding the topic, we can define the scope together
- If the topic of the course requires it, I provide excellent, experienced models as well as support from a make-up artist, thanks to which the work is smooth, effective and guarantees good results
- if – as in the case of retro or pinup photography – props are needed, I can provide appropriate outfits or objects and also choose appropriate locations
- I have a well-equipped studio
- After the workshop, each student can send me up to 20 photographs for critical analysis – I point out all the positives and errors, explaining as precisely as possible how to correct them.
