Gerhardt’s Weekend Degustation Experience

This workshop is labeled the ultimate weekend workshop and a learning and degustation experience not to be missed. Join Gerhardt in his home Saturday morning for coffee and discuss the day’s events. On the first day two locations will be hand picked to photograph at. You will break for lunch with Gerhardt at one of the fine local restaurants and enjoy an in depth discussion over drinks and fine food. Enjoy a second shoot with Gerhardt at a different location learning how location and time of day can impact on the light and how it illuminates the nude physique. At the end of this shoot you can freshen up at your 5 star hotel accommodation where a driver will pick you up and bring you to Gerhardt’s home later that evening. Once at Gerhardt’s a debriefing of the photos on a professionally calibrated monitor allows the client to gain a better understanding of the light that day and the resulting images that have been captured. Gerhardt cordially invites you to then join him for an eight course gastronomical degustation of fine wines and food, what better way to sit back, relax and discuss the events of the day and to prepare for the next day. A driver will return you to the hotel.

On Sunday awake to a full breakfast at your hotel. You will be picked up at your hotel and travel to a hand picked location. This is the day where all of the hard work from the day before can be put to use, a chance to perfect what has been achieved the day before all under the one on one guidance and instruction of Gerhardt. Lunch of course follows at one of our fine local restaurants where continued discussions ensue over drinks and food. The workshop concludes with a final visual debriefing on a calibrated monitor.

It goes without say how much a workshop like this can change the way you photograph forever.
