This workshop is a unique combination of fashion-forward and fine-art maternity photography, wrapped into a Maternity Masterclass designed to transform your work and make your images truly ICONIC!
You will learn how to create striking, artistic, and luxurious maternity portraits that combine emotion, aesthetics, and elegance at the highest level.
Who is this masterclass for?
This masterclass is designed for photographers who:
want to elevate their portfolio to a higher level,
aim to stand out in a saturated market,
wish to deepen their understanding of studio lighting and use light more intentionally,
want to improve their approach to posing and body awareness,
and would like to learn how to create unique, luxury-looking maternity outfits without sewing, using fabrics and styling techniques for their own photoshoots.
What you will learn
Lighting
Professional lighting techniques ranging from soft, delicate illumination to more sculpted, shaping light. You will learn how to use different light modifiers and light sources intentionally, and how to create varied moods. We will work with flash, continuous light, and mixed lighting setups.
Fashion & Styling
Editorial styling and wardrobe techniques that give your images a fashion-forward look.
You will learn how to create luxury maternity garments without sewing, using fabrics, textures, and accessories in a creative and intentional way.
Elevate Your Posing Workflow
A strong emphasis is placed on natural, flattering body positions and movements that enhance the beauty of pregnancy. We explore how subtle adjustments create elegant, refined images while ensuring the mother feels comfortable and confident throughout the process.
Editing Education
Editing is an integral part of the workshop and is provided in the form of detailed, pre-recorded video tutorials. This allows you to revisit the editing workflow anytime and learn at your own pace.
The videos cover the complete refinement process, including clean retouching, high-end skin editing techniques, tonal balance, color consistency, and the creation of an editorial visual signature.
You will also learn how to integrate AI-based tools into your workflow to optimize and streamline post-production.
Private WhatsApp Group
Before the workshop, you will be invited to a private WhatsApp group where you can ask questions, connect, and receive all important information related to the masterclass.
The group remains open after the workshop, allowing you to ask follow-up questions and revisit key topics.
During the workshop, each participant will have dedicated shooting time with the models, allowing you to create refined, portfolio-worthy maternity images aligned with your own visual style.
This masterclass is designed for photographers who think in visual concepts rather than formulas, and who wish to approach maternity photography from an editorial, fashion-inspired perspective.
The number of participants is intentionally limited to ensure a focused, personal, and high-quality experience.
Secure your place early and develop a maternity photography style that is refined, intentional, and timeless.
