This is my new friend, photographer. She came to the studio for a 9h private workshop. It was great meeting her. She has a unique eye for things, a great sense of composition and, now, a bag of tricks to apply (light, composition and post production). For the course, my other new friend, Marina, was the model. And what a model. She smashed! Thanks, Alexandra. Thanks, Marina.

Six students joined the first digital workflow workshop, here, yesterday, at the studio. It was a very special day. The best quality people, absurdly interested in learning more about processing and retouching for professional photography.
The students were Alyson Luiz, who dreams about being a documentary war photographer, Daniel Lacerda, a veteran in concert works. He has already been to another of my courses. Great to see him again.
Marcus Mota and Toninho Mota are brothers. Maquinhos runs one of the fines design agencies around, Quartel Design, where he works mostly with clients from the music scene. Toninho seeks to venture in the wedding photography field.
Pedro Celso is in the moment of the first discoveries of his passion for photography and already shows a very peculiar look for the thing.
Ana Slika, a dear friend, who has some wonderful experimental work that gets cooler each day.
The workshop started early, 8am. Ended almost 7pm. At the studio, we shot the beautiful Luanda. She charmed everyone and made the whole learning process a lot easier. Thanks, Luanda.
The success of the workshop was possible due to the touch of three special girls. Priscila, who took care of Luanda’s hair and make-up. Flavinha, as usual, giving me the mos helpful hand at the studio and also doing some of these making of shots.
And, of course, Paulinha, who is the real boss of us all and made everything perfect. You have no idea of the coffee-break we had. I only missed champagne. Not to mentions the students material, that even included a chocolate bar. Thanks, Paulinha.
And a side note thanks to Manu, who called every 15 minutes to check if everything was running smoothly. Thanks, Manu.
The next workshop is most likely happening in April. Stay tuned. And if you want to take this workshop to your country, get in touch with us.

Next February, 27, I’ll give a workshop here, at the studio in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, on Professional Digital Workflow. You can form a local group and take this workshop to your country, please use the contact page and let me know of you ineterest so we can work things out.
The workshop happens in one day and starts with a photoshoot. From there we go over the RAW processing, stage by stage, until post production with full commercial skin, shape and eyes retouching.
The goal of this workshop is not only to give you training on professional commercial photography, but also clarity on how you should pick your lights, choose your file format and what boundaries to respect when retouching for the real world.
Here are some topics:
