Portrait Photography Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
đ¸ Studio B/W Portrait Photography in Weissense
Join us for our second studio event this year, first in this new studio in [Weissensee](https://studioweissensee.berlin/), for a minimalistic session with 3 models.
**Main theme:**
This all-black-and-white studio session is a deep dive into the mastery of contrast and light. Instead of just taking striking photos, you will deconstruct and replicate the artistic decisions of photographyâs greatest masters. You will explore how deep shadows, bright highlights, and texture shape emotion and direct the viewerâs eye.
The session is divided into three distinct technical blocks based on iconic reference styles:
1. **Terry Richardson & Platon:** Minimalist sets, flat direct flash, and raw, high-contrast emotional energy.
2. **Peter Lindbergh:** Cinematic, soft yet directional window light, unretouched skin texture, and honest human emotion.
3. **Hedi Slimane:** Aggressive digital black-and-white, sharp side-lighting, and cold rock-and-roll decadence.
The goal is to understand how light reveals, conceals, separates, and connects. By consciously borrowing these techniques, you will learn to use contrast as a powerful visual and emotional tool with your own subjects.
**đĄ Formula**
This rotation-based format is built to maximize your shooting time and creative output. Youâll work across three setups, lighting styles, and models, all in a single session.
* **1-on-1 Shooting:** Dedicated time with each model.
* **Ready-to-Shoot:** Professionally lit, styled environments for varied content.
* **Inspiring Atmosphere:** A focused chance to experiment, connect, and create alongside like-minded photographers.
**đĽ Who & What to Expect**
* **Participants:** Up to 12 photographers, divided into 3 rotating groups.
* **Skill Level:** Intermediate and above.
* **The Models:** 3 carefully selected models.

Workshop in Realistic Portrait Drawing with Pencil | EN | June 28
**You like drawing but find portraits challenging?**
**You just need the right process!**
Then this workshop is for YOU!
And for anyone who wishes to explore realistic pencil portrait drawing from photographic references through a structured method, and wants to learn or refine pencil hatching and shading techniques.
The workshop is designed for a small group, allowing a flexible and supportive approach, adapting to each participantâs level: from guiding beginners to helping intermediate artists tackle their personal creative challenges.
Without the pressure of the final result, we will focus on learning the method and enjoying the creative process.
I am Alessia Sinopoli, an Italian professional artist based in Berlin, and I will be your instructor throughout this journey.
**What we'll do step by step**
**Weâll combine theory and practice:**
* Practice targeted observation to select the best reference photo
* Use the grid method for accurate proportions and create a preliminary sketch
* Understand the differences between pencils of various hardness and get familiar with the materials weâll use
* Master shading (the real magic!) with hatching techniques to shape volume and depth
* Train your observational skills to recognize different tonal values
* Explore changing perspectives to refresh your vision
* Discuss common mistakes and learn how to avoid them
* Receive attentive, highly personalized guidance aimed at supporting your individual way of drawing
**Breaks and Refreshments**
While drawing, weâll enjoy some tea.
Between the first and second parts of the workshop, weâll take a break, Itâll be the perfect moment to connect, share a cup of coffee and a sweet treat together (vegan option available).
**What is included?**
Leave home as light as a butterfly, **everything is provided!**
All materials provided **for use during the workshop** are professional, artist-grade quality and carefully selected for realistic pencil drawing techniques:
* Graphite pencils (professional quality, different hardness grades)
* High-quality drawing paper suitable for detailed pencil work
* Precision eraser tools for detailed highlights and corrections
* Essential drawing accessories including sharpeners, additional erasers, paper-cleaning brushes, and other studio equipment
* Printed photo references
**Refreshments are included**: tea, coffee and a sweet treat.
**Who is this workshop for?**
This workshop is for those who want to spend a cozy and relaxing Sunday in a creative environment, while learning.
We will engage intensively in shading and learn essential technical elements and a structured process that provide a solid foundation for building a portrait.
*Because it is from strong foundations that creativity can truly flourish, allowing subsequent portraits to develop into more intuitive, free, and personal expressions.*
**Location**
The workshop takes place at Kunstraum Heartspace, a bright and inspiring shared studio. Itâs welcoming and filled with creative energy!
Portrait Drawing on Sunday Afternoon
This group is for everyone who is interested in drawing portraits!
For me, drawing has been a wonderful way to gain a new perspective on the world and the people within it.
Whether you are just starting out or have been drawing for ages â all levels are welcome :)
How it works:
1\. We meet at The Castle pub in Mitte and do short sittings of 15 minutes for each other\. The first sitting is divided into 3 warm\-up sketches\, 5 minutes each\.
2\. Before we start\, everybody writes their name on a blank card \(provided by the organizer\); these cards are then used to randomly pick the model every 15 minutes\.
3\. Usually we do 8 sittings\, with a 15\-minute break in the middle \(so after 4 sittings\, or 1 hour\)\.
-> The participation is free, but it is expected that everybody orders something from the bar to support the lovely location.
Get out your pencils and let's start!
Please bring your own art supplies!

Drawing Cafe [#26] Coffee & Sketching in Berlin
We meet and sketch each other in Berlin. This is just an art gym that we also exercise our social skills. Afterwards usually we go for lunch as a group.
**How Does It Work?**
This event is simple, we meet and sketch each other doing portraits. Most of the participants use pencils or watercolors. Main aim is to socialize while we draw. There will be plenty of time to talk and get to know each other. We have to mention that this event is suitable for all levels. Many have started to draw in our event actually.
**Structure**
A. Warmup Phase: We pose to each other for 1 minute.
B. Main Phase: We pose to each other for 10 minutes.
C. Showcase Phase: We show some of the drawings we did to each other.
**Who We Are**
Creative Sessions is an art events group located in Berlin.
**Is it Free?**
The event is free of charge.
Iďťżt is advisable to get a drink though. This is a cafe, we need to have at least half of the people on each table with a drink. They accept only cash and most hot drinks cost from 2.50 to 3.50.
**How to help or donate?**
The event is provided for free but many people help this be a regular thing. We also need people to volunteer and help for minor tasks like the serving of the drinks or cleaning up. Just send us a message.
If you want to donate and keep this event from happening, via Paypal to the host (Miltos) :

Life-drawing / Aktzeicnen
Life-drawing on the first and third Saturday morning in the month held in my studio in the Rhinower Str 10.
One hour of short poses ( the length of a song from an eclectic playlist) a 20 minute or so break while we look at the work and compare techniques and exchange tips on materials while drinking a well-earned tea or coffee with a freshly-baked muffin, then another hour of drawing. In the second half, for those who wish I also roll up a plate with ink to monoprint direct from the model. You will go home with a lot of drawings and prints, new ideas and some new techniques. A perfect way to kick off the weekend!! Cost 30âŹ. Bring your own drawing materials. I supply ink, palettes, water jars and rags. Beginners very welcome!!

Directing and Lighting Your Shoot
**Donât miss your opportunity to learn from a duo with over 16 years of experience combined. During this demonstration event, you can expect to learn how to direct and guide your creative vision through lighting and communication to your model. We guarantee you will leave this event feeling more confident to try new lighting set ups to match up with your anticipated outcome. Finding the right way to express your vision is key to getting your model to pose accordingly, so we got you there too! To take this even further, think about signing up for a tutorial spot following the demonstration.**
***Note: this is a demonstration event only, you will not shoot your own images. However, if you bring your camera we can test it for compatibility with the studio lights.***
**Following the demonstration will be a tutorial/coaching event - sign up separately if you are interested at**

**Save and book both for $199 (discounted from $215; the discount will be applied on the Tutorial invoice).**
The Completely Series
These meetings will be a building block approach to learning photographic mastery over three disciplines:
Mechanical Mastery (MM) - 13 weeks of the series
Exposure Mastery (EM) - 26 weeks of the series
Composition Mastery (CM) - A 52 week series
All three series will run concurrently and will dovetail as follows:
Q3/26 - MM (Iter 1), EM (Iter 1, Pt 1), CM (Iter 1, Pt1)
Q4/26 - MM (Iter 2), EM (Iter 1, Pt 2), CM (Iter 1, Pt2)
Q1/27 - MM (Iter 3), EM (Iter 2, Pt 1), CM (Iter 1, Pt3)
Q2/27 - MM (Iter 4), EM (Iter 2, Pt 2), CM (Iter 1, Pt4)
That's likely confusing, but essentially, MM offered 4 times in that period, EM offered 2 times, and CM offered 1 time.
**TO BE CLEAR - THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THESE CLASSES.**
This is an aggressive series, with presentations, homework, group shoots to be added in, likely at LEAST twice a month, image critiques, and an expectation that you are willing to put in the work to elevate your photography significantly. Open to all levels and all equipment levels. Don't let hesitation about your skillset and/or gear keep you from a one-time opportunity.
The group will meet every Monday, with periodic exceptions, and we will try to keep as close as possible to the original plan. Obviously, more data to come, and will be published as this is further developed, but now is the time to decide if you want to be a part of this.
