The main goal of Inspiration Days is the education of professional photographers and event videographers in the way it is done around the world, with the help of renowned photographers and videographers, and in the way in which allows the participants to get complete insight into the creative process of our lecturers, from the initial idea to the final product. In a broader sense, the goal of our International Photo & Video Forum is setting a high standard, exchange of experiences, making connections and improvement of pricing policy.
Our workshops are conceptualized in a way that they offer as broad and as high level of education as possible in a short period of time, and so that it allows participants to significantly improve their shooting techniques, develop creativity and find their unique way of expressing themselves. During our workshop days participants will learn how to understand and use light, why anatomy is relevant in accomplishing a natural look of their models, how to avoid errors in posing, how to improve their editing skills, how to make an effective wedding book and so on. Between the lectures, analyzing photos and working in Photoshop, there will be a lot of shooting in different conditions. Our lecturers will reveal many tips & tricks they use in their assignments, so that you can get impressive photos for your portfolio.
