In this one-day workshop with award-winning photographer Mirjana Vrbaški, you will explore the essential role of light in studio photography.

Through hands-on sessions, you will shape and control light using studio equipment, experiment with different setups to shift mood and meaning, and adjust camera settings to work in harmony with light.

Portrait photography serves here as the practice tool, as in the afternoon you will have the chance to work with a live model in front of the camera while focusing on light’s creative potential. In essence, this workshop centers on learning how to see, understand, and use light – perfect for your own photographic practice.

Anyone of any skill level can join this course. A DSLR camera is required.
