2-Day Workshop
In this workshop, I will show you where to find great natural light around you, and how to use it to create artistic, studio-like portraits. How to direct and pose people.
We will practice with male and female models. With professionals and amateurs.
You will start taking photos like these yourself, within hours.
This workshop will change your entire experience of people photography, forever.
You will quickly become a confident photographer of people, who always gets the results you want - consistently, anywhere, and with anyone.
Only Natural Light
You can take gorgeous, artistic portraits without having to pay for a studio, and without any lighting equipment.
In fact, without any additional equipment at all.
Just you, your camera, and your model.
And in any weather - sunny, cloudy or rainy.
You just need to know where to find great natural light around you, and how to use it.
The best natural light is often in the most unexpected, ordinary places. Places you wouldn't even think of.
Perfect Without Editing
Most people photography courses will teach you how to take a decent shot - then how to manipulate it to perfection in Photoshop, often beyond recognition.
I don't do that.
I teach how to make your portraits perfect straight from the camera, so there is no need for any editing.
How to create a finished image in the viewfinder, before pressing the shutter.
How to show people's real beauty, without digital manipulation.
How It's Done
Watch this short video to see how exactly the photo above was taken.
It's straight from the camera, with zero editing.
And no, it's not about camera settings.
3-Step System
Learn my easy-to-use 3-step system, that reflects 3 essential ingredients of great people photography.
A system that you can use yourself to create gorgeous portraits consistently, anywhere, and with anyone.
Results With Anyone
You don’t need professional models to create images like these.
You can get those results with complete amateurs.
You just need to know how to direct and pose them.
How to engage and interact with your model to get the best out of them.
How to make them relaxed, comfortable and confident in front of your camera.
How to capture emotions, natural expressions, and personality of your subject.
I'm Pawel Lipski
I'm an international photography coach, based in Zurich, Switzerland.
I specialise exclusively in people photography in natural light - including portraits, boudoir and travel portraits.
Because to me, people are the most fascinating photographic subjects, with an endless variety of faces, expressions and emotions.
