workshop, belo horizonte

We just had, in our studio, one of the best workshops so far. A super cool gang, very focused and extremely talented. Paula, once more, took care of the production and everything went well. Priscila did an amazing job on the make up department. Juliana Foini, who I met in person just today, was our model. The coolest person. Perfect skin, and doll like nose. Gourgeous and fun. She made everyone a fan in no time. Below you can see some of the photos of the class, including a “before and after” from the retouching class.

Photographer is order: Alexandra Vilas Boas, Rondinelle Lopes, Allyson Hissashi, Juliana Sicoli e Saulo Gomes. “Before and after” shot: Rondinelle Lopes.

great success in the minneapolis workshop

An incredibly kind group of people came in for the first workshop in Minneapolis. The seminar started a little after 8am and ended up a bit overtime, around 6:30pm. It was a full day of fun, discoveries and great new friendships. I was glad and honored to be able to teach something for these amazing fellows. It meant a lot to me. Here are some of the “back stage” shots. In another post, some actual photos produced during the workshop by the students.

alexandra freitas

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.

our first workshop was spetacular

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.
