Lauren Fair Workshop in Puglia
Join us for the Lauren Fair Workshop in Italy: June 29-July 2, 2020 - an experience in the incredible country of Italy! We're limiting spots for this workshop in order to give you an exclusive, small group in a luxurious setting! Carefully curated to pack in so much business + artistic knowledge alongside community building, stunning editorial shoots, class time and an experience unlike any other. This is a business-heavy workshop with topics focusing not only on how to capture beautiful photos, but how to market and create a thriving business that will stand the test of time. Both film + digital photographers are welcome. You'll stay all together in an incredible villa near the sparkling Mediterranean coast of Italy, in the inspiring region of Puglia. We'll share meals, capture stunning editorial shoots styled by Joy Proctor with fashion by top bridal stylist Gabrielle Hurwitz, and you'll leave equipped to transform your business. Alexandra Macon, Editor of Vogue Weddings + creator of Over the Moon, will share a 1 hour talk on publication, editorial content as well as a Q & A. Joy Proctor will share on working seamlessly with wedding planners, designers and florists to create flawless images for your couples and elevate your wedding work.
Workshop Vero
The Vero Workshop was created to bring real and raw education to the creative industry. "Vero" meaning real in Italian, is the foundation and core values of this entire movement. So many times, we have seen such talent in a single photographer, but their business and portfolio is nowhere near where they want it to be. At the Vero photography workshop, we will not only provide the best creative team to curate multiple jaw-dropping photo shoots to build incredible content, but we will also give you the education you need to grow the business you have always dreamed of. Vero is a place where we build a strong sense of community and share the good, bad, and ugly about being in the creative industry. We all know the struggles, long nights away from family, putting every ounce of who you are on the table, and the rejection we feel almost weekly. It is not an easy place. Vero is a safe haven where we connect and grow with each other.
Secret Owl Workshop
The Secret Owl is an annual wedding photography workshop established and coordinated by fine art wedding photographer Sotiris Tsakanikas. Bringing forth the dynamics of wedding imagery, we join forces with the most prominent photography and event design creatives worldwide to present a select number of attendees with a 5-day masterclass on visual narrative, style, technique, and branding.
Deutscher Hochzeitskongress
The German Wedding Congress sees itself as a specialist congress for the wedding industry. Wedding service providers from all over Germany, Austria and Switzerland are invited - young professionals as well as old hands. For the German Wedding Congress, we put together an exciting line-up of national and international wedding professionals and business professionals every year. The thematic variety offers inspiration and know-how for all trades in the wedding industry. In addition, panel discussions and new network formats encourage direct exchange with the speakers. With exquisite catering, you can get to know each other better during extended breaks.
The Hybrid Co.
Joy shares her process for styling beautiful detail shots, guiding students through her theory of flatlay and still life design. Explaining how she channels inspiration, Joy walks through her technique for creating beautiful images that are cohesive and weave together a larger story. She illustrates her teachings with 6 styled still life stations, including decor she has customized to visually tell the story of an elegant yet whimsical Spring wedding. All students will be able to shoot these flatlays for their portfolio. Students are also invited to flatly their own work using supplied invitation suites and florals while Joy offers advice, guidance and suggestions
