WELCOME TO FOTOLOVe!
THIS IS PROBABLY THE FIRST SENTENCE YOU’LL HEAR WHEN WE MEET FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME AT A FULLY INDIVIDUAL WORKSHOP.
I DESIGNED IT BASED ON MY OWN EXPERIENCES PHOTOGRAPHING RANDOM PEOPLE IN THE STREET – TO STEP OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE, TO LEARN HOW TO WORK WITH THE CAMERA, THE PHOTO, AND THE SUBJECT UNDER PRESSURE, AND STILL BE ABLE TO DELIVER HIGH-QUALITY RESULTS IN ALL ASPECTS.
AND IN THE FINAL PHASE, I TESTED THIS CONCEPT ON ACTUAL PEOPLE!
WHAT CAN THIS WORKSHOP BRING YOU?
1. Stepping out of your comfort zone, which is where you’ll learn much more and much faster.
2. The art of making quick decisions. Fotolov is the opposite of planned photography – it forces you to deal with the situation here and now, while still producing quality work.
3. Working with a subject – I call it “client” work, although that’s a bit of a stretch. It’s all about making your subject feel at ease and enjoying a short session. Personally, I’ve found this skill invaluable in any paid gig.
4. Learning curve. This isn’t repeating the first point – in a 2-hour session, you’ll be able to shoot with about 5–8 volunteers. That’s a solid amount of feedback – not just from me, but for yourself too.
5. Portfolio expansion. Since you’ll photograph many people in a short time, you’ll have more to showcase. That’s up to you, of course, but this workshop definitely helps with that.
6. New clients you wouldn’t have met otherwise. Sounds strange? Not really. People might love your photos and your approach – and that could lead to future collaborations.
And there’s more. It’s an experience – and everyone takes something different from it. So I’m not going to promise miracles or that you’ll be “better at this or that.” That’s up to you. I’ll just guide you, inspire you, and support you. I won’t teach you how to “shoot correctly” because we’re all different.
What this “walk” will definitely teach you is how to use your strengths and improve your weaknesses. Everyone learns differently – but all three testers will back this up!
