Hamburg Europe {Defining your Style} Fall Workshop:  

Date: November 17th 2011

Time: 11:30am-5:00pm 

Location: Hamburg (exact Location TBD)

Class style:  Inspirational, Practical & empowering.  

For who: This class is specifically for entrepeneurs who like photography, love people and want to specialize and flourish in their business.

Main Topics Covered: 

1.) Defining your shooting style: Learn how to shoot with pure natural light with no flash, or photoshop.

2.) Specialize and define your style as a photographer.

3.) Define your business to be simple and create freedom as you become successful & profitable.

Purpose: I'll present topics & principles and then we will discuss implementation and the practical side of how these work out in your daily business.  Listening to others struggles and the solutions brings about a greater depth than just focusing on what you think you know.  Thus learning what you don't know you didn't know, you will leave with a more confident way to address your own hurdles and challenges your business will face.

"You can give a man a fish and feed him for a day, or teach him how to fish and teach him how to feed himself for a lifetime."  I believe in empowering small business people who have the potential, tenacity and passion not to just to get the answers but to learn hot to solve the problems themselves.  We do that as a group.  And the progress you'll make ensures a future of your progress after the workshop as well!

Workshop Benefits:  You will learn how to: 1) Escape from any creative plateau and gain an inspiring perspective on how to define your style with the images, and separate yourself from other photographers. 2) Have clarity on the steps you need to define your style. 3) Have confidence to nail your shots in the camera so your entire post production is a piece of cake. 4) have clarity with a realistic business plan highlighting principles and not just methods. 5) How to position yourself uniquely in your industry. 6) How to use your business to grow your character and how to use your character to grow your business. 

This Class is For: Beginner to moderate wedding & portrait photographers who want to define their style or energize their style with new inspiration.  For those who want to learn more about how to specialize and escape the general mass middle "average business".  This class is not for those who do not intend to run a business or want to make photography a hobby.

Prerequisites:  Tenacity - Every euro you spend on a workshop is a euro you don't keep.  This is a day jam packed with practical information to be implemented.  Its important to me that nobody comes and forgets what they heard.  Come with a notepad, and the dicipline to have an action item list to apply and do what you learn here.  This class is designed to give you the tools to make back the investment of this workshop ten-fold.  If you feel you have the tenacity, dicipline and character to apply your artisic talents, than this is for you.

Stuff to bring: Camera w/ telephoto and portrait lens(s).  Good shoes & warm chlothes to get around town for the shoot! Bring a laptop or a fat notebook and a pen, ipad or whatever you like for notes.
