All shoots are a work of complicity, between models, photographers, designers. We all see the result. This series will take you behind the scenes of a photoshoot, from planning to shooting.

Each session is a live, working photoshoot — not a demo, not a simulation. We’ll work with experienced models and performers on a real brief, live. And you're in the room for all of it: the brief, the mood board, the lighting setup, the direction, the decisions. You'll see how I communicate with clients and models, how I translate an idea into a practical shoot plan, and how I handle everything that comes up in the studio.

Whether you're a photographer, a model, or someone who works with both, this is a space to watch, ask questions, share knowledge, and leave with something genuinely useful. Every session features a different subject, a different brief, and a different set of problems to solve. The foundation stays the same.

How each session runs

01

Mood board & preparation — We open with the brief. I walk through the mood board, the intentions behind it, and how the lighting and direction choices were made before we ever set up a light.

02

Live shoot — Set 1 — Full working shoot with the first model. Direction, lighting, adjustments, all narrated as it happens.

03

Live shoot — Set 2 — Second setup, different lighting approach or subject. We build on what we've just done.

04

Q&A Open floor. Ask anything , about the shoot, the process, the decisions, the practice.

JUNE 1st

Giulia will help us create 2 different beauty light setups. We’ll use textured backgrounds and soft light to enhance her already stunning features. We’ll have time to explain the mood board, direction and how the lightning choices reflect our intention.

JUNE 15TH

Axel will model to demonstrate how to incorporate light into the architecture of your space. We’ll simulate natural daylight with flashes in two sets, reinforcing the natural qualities of Axel’s magnificent presence.

JUNE 29TH

Chiyo will help us model for hard light, muscularity and use of color gel. This class will focus on the impactful effects of unfiltered lighting, the angles and poses that help model Chiyos athletic body and how to control light through simple GOBOs and modifiers.
