Private boudoir, nude and erotic photography workshops in Johannesburg
PRIVATE ONE TO ONE TUITION

Boudoir, Nude & Erotic Photography Workshops

Whether you want to improve your lighting, become more confident directing and posing models, build your portfolio or explore a side of photography you have not worked in before, the day is built around what you want to learn.

These are private, hands on photography workshops in my Johannesburg studio, working with a model and real sets rather than simply talking about technique.

No large classes. No predetermined syllabus. Just practical, one to one tuition shaped around your photography.

BUILT AROUND YOU

What Would You Like to Learn?

There is no fixed programme because photographers rarely arrive wanting exactly the same thing.

You may want to understand studio lighting properly, improve the way you pose and direct a model, explore nude or erotic photography for the first time, or simply spend a day shooting with guidance when you need it.

Before the workshop, we discuss what you want to achieve and build the day around that.

LIGHTING & TECHNIQUE

Work through lighting setups, light placement, camera settings and how small changes can completely alter the mood of an image.

POSING & DIRECTION

Learn how I work with a model, build poses naturally and give clear direction without constantly stopping the flow of the shoot.

BOUDOIR, NUDE & EROTIC

Explore the genres you are interested in, from softer boudoir and fine art nude through to more provocative erotic photography.

PORTFOLIO & CREATIVITY

Use the day to create new work for your portfolio, experiment with ideas, different sets and techniques you may not normally have the opportunity to try.

A Workshop Built Around You

This is not a fixed course with a timetable you have to follow. Before the workshop, we discuss where you are with your photography, what you would like to improve and what you want to spend the day shooting.

From there, I structure the workshop around you.

WHO IT’S FOR

You Don’t Need to Be a Boudoir Photographer

You may already be a professional photographer wanting to add boudoir, nude or erotic photography to your work, or an enthusiastic photographer wanting to explore these genres properly for the first time.

You do not need previous experience photographing boudoir or nude models. You should, however, be comfortable using your camera in manual mode so that we can spend the day creating images rather than learning basic camera operation.

Because the workshop is private, we work at your level and your pace. If you already have experience, we can move quickly into more advanced lighting, posing and creative techniques.

Come with questions, ideas or images you want to create. We’ll build the day from there.

GOOD TO KNOW

A Few Questions Before You Enquire

No. You should be comfortable using your camera in manual mode, but you do not need previous experience photographing these genres. The workshop is tailored to your existing level and what you want to learn.

Yes. Before the workshop we discuss what you want to achieve, including the genres, lighting styles, posing and types of images you would like to explore. I then plan the day around that as far as practically possible.

Yes. One professional model is included in the private photography workshop, but additional models can be arranged if you would like greater variety during the day.

Working with different models gives you the opportunity to explore different looks, body types, posing styles, sets and creative ideas, while building a broader range of images for your portfolio.

Additional model fees are quoted according to the model selected.

Yes. The workshop is designed as private one to one tuition, but if you have a friend, partner or fellow photographer who would like to photograph alongside you, they are welcome to join for an additional R5,000.

No. You do not need to be an advanced Photoshop user. If you need help with the fundamentals, we can start there before moving into my workflow, retouching and finishing techniques. If you are already comfortable with Photoshop, we can concentrate on the areas you specifically want to develop.

As with the photography workshop, the session is private and built around your current experience and what you want to learn.

Send me a WhatsApp and tell me a little about your photography, what you would like to learn and roughly when you would like to do the workshop. We can then discuss the details and find a suitable date.

POST PRODUCTION

My Photoshop Workflow

This is not a course on every tool, menu and function in Photoshop. It is a practical, one to one session showing you how I actually edit my photographs, from the original RAW file through to the finished image.

Bring some of your own photographs and we will work through them together, following my workflow and looking at the decisions I make along the way.

WORKFLOW DETAILS

A Workshop Built Around Your Photography

TAILORED TO YOUR EXPERIENCE

You do not need to be an advanced Photoshop user. If you need help with the fundamentals, we can begin there before moving into my workflow, retouching and finishing techniques. If you are already comfortable with Photoshop, we can spend more of the session on the areas you want to develop.

Because this is private one to one tuition, the session is built around your experience, your images and what you want to learn.

PRIVATE PHOTOGRAPHY TUITION

Not Sure Which Session Is Right for You?
