Tallinn, Estonia – November 3, 2023 – An incredible opportunity has arisen to be part of a 5-day Photographic Masterclass with none other than famed pro photographer Joe McNally. The venue will be a photogs’ dream location, an enchanted island off the Estonian coast in the Baltic Sea. A select group of participants will have an opportunity to increase their knowledge and experience with industry professionals, and models, using top-of-the-line equipment.
At the end of this 5-day-long masterclass, attendees will leave with the skills and knowledge to take their photography to the next level. They’ll certainly walk away with a deeper understanding of the look and feel of light and how to use it to create the most stunning images. It’s no secret that successfully manipulating light is the key to successful portraits.
Participants will:
During the workshop, Joe McNally will engage the group with tips, tricks and insights, aiming to help each participant master the art of managing light in portrait photography. In addition to these daily sessions, everyone will enjoy plenty of hands-on shooting experience each day, working with no less than eight models with professional makeup and hair on-hand. To maximize shooting time and engagement with subjects, the workshop will utilize small photo teams, with a cap of just 14 participants ensuring a personal feel and plenty of individual attention.
A spokesperson explains, “Expert review will also form a key part of the workshop, with class critiques and discussions of both our images and our overall visions and goals as photographers. Such critiques are integral to the workshop as they’re among the best ways to advance as photographers. By participating in these, you’ll develop a clear direction for your photographic journey, ultimately leading to greater success and achievement in your field.”
Along with Joe’s attention, students will have the exceptional eye of Pasi Hakala, a highly talented, Finland-based professional photographer who will also assist throughout the workshop. In Joe’s own words, Hakala is a “versatile,” “veteran storyteller” as well as “a constant and excellent teacher.”
In the evenings, models may also be available for independent shoots, in which participants can garner further practice with various lighting setups. Though outside the workshop’s official program, this is certainly an opportunity to expand one’s portfolio.
