Into the Fairytale — Portrait Workshop

Hello, dear photo enthusiasts! :)

Let's use this beautiful springtime and transform a wall of wild vine leaves into an enchanting natural set where light, texture, styling, and imagination come together to create beautiful imagery filled with nature's mystery and wonder.

In this workshop, I invite you to draw inspiration from the work of Kirsty Mitchel and her Wonderland series:

This workshop is about learning how to create extraordinary images from simple surroundings by using nature, flowers, leaves, colour, to create emotion and a story.

Working with a styled model in a styled nature setting, you’ll explore how to turn an ordinary park into something that feels timeless, painterly, and a little bit surreal.

You will be able to:
📸 Create nature-inspired portraits using natural surroundings
🌿 Learn how to build visual magic from simple organic elements
✨ Use light, colour, texture, and composition to create a painterly feel
💡 Direct a model to evoke emotion, softness, mystery, and presence
🍃 See how nature itself can become part of the costume, mood, and narrative.

Perfect for photographers of all levels, who love portraits, visual storytelling, and fantasy aesthetics.
