Julia Borodina
Photographer and Visual Artist

Photography is more than just pressing a button — it’s about understanding light, vision, and the art of storytelling. With over 13 years of professional experience, I’ve mastered these skills, and now I’m ready to share them with you.

This workshop offers more than theory. You’ll witness the entire process — from setting up the lights to directing a professional model — and understand why each decision matters. It’s a unique opportunity to learn by seeing a professional at work and getting answers to all your questions in real-time.

And it doesn’t stop at observation. Everyone will have the chance to step behind the camera, work with a professional model, and apply the techniques learned. You won’t leave with just notes and ideas — you’ll leave with a full card of new, high-quality images for your portfolio.

No matter where you are in your photography journey, this workshop will give you the confidence and skills to take your work to the next level.

Please note that this workshop will be in the English language!

The workshop will start around 11 am. You can make a coffee, introduce yourself to each other, and meet a team.

Theoretical part (about 1-1,5h while the model is getting ready)

• Types of photography.
• Where to find inspiration?
• Private client VS brand: what's the difference?
• ART projects: why do you need them?
• Moodboard: from idea to action.

Practical part

• Soft light: different setups for different purposes.
• Hard light: the beauty of hard light and when you shouldn't use it?
• Communication with a model: how to get 100% from the model?
• Practice, practice, and practice! – it's the only way to learn.
• while one group of photographers is taking photos, another group will have portfolio review.

Everyone will be able to take photos for their portfolios.

This workshop is aimed at all intermediate or beginner level photographers who wish to learn to comfortably master the use of studio lighting or simply grow their existing knowledge and learn effective setups to use in their work.
