**Who Should Attend?**
Our workshops at The Production Studio are designed for photographers looking to expand their skills or build their portfolios in a professional setting. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced shooter, these sessions offer hands-on learning with top-tier talent from leading agencies.
Studio photography can feel intimidating, but our workshops provide a relaxed environment where you can observe, ask questions, and learn by doing. There’s nothing like hands on experience.
With a variety of styles and themes, each session ensures participants have the opportunity to shoot one-on-one with models, refine their techniques, and connect with fellow photographers and enthusiasts.
** What you should bring:**
* A DSLR/Mirrorless camera
* Fully Charged Battery
* Freshly Formatted Memory Card(s)
* General Lenses: 24-70mm, 24-105mm and 70-200mm If you have a macro lens, 50mm or 85mm please bring it along. It really depends on the type of workshop
* Pocket Wizards (if you have your own, otherwise one will be provided for you)
* Bring along a list of shots you’d like to achieve or posing ideas. It can help to ensure that you get the perfect image.
**Workshop Details:**
* Arrival: Upon arrival, use the intercom to call unit 205 for entry. Please aim to arrive 15 minutes early to settle in before the session begins.
* Social Interaction: Feel free to connect with the workshop host and fellow photographers. Keep conversations lighthearted and professional to foster a creative and welcoming environment.
* Photoshoot Session: Each workshop runs for 3 hours, with participants working one-on-one with the model across 4-5 different sets. The goal is to capture a few standout images from each setup that you can proudly showcase on your website and social media.
* Model Release: A non-commercial model release, signed by the model, will be provided to each photographer. Photos and videos taken during the workshop can be used for personal promotional purposes only, including portfolios, websites, and print media such as postcards.
* Please note that behind-the-scenes (BTS) content may be captured by individuals, the model, MUA, or the event host. If you prefer not to be recorded, kindly inform everyone before the event begins.
**Cancellation Policy**
Cancellations are accepted 7-14 days before the workshop (depending on the event) for a full refund. This policy ensures workshops can run smoothly for the studio, models, and MUAs.
Think of workshop registration like purchasing a concert ticket, refunds aren’t typically given. However, if you cancel within 7 days and a replacement is found, a full refund will be issued.
If the organizer cancels, you’ll receive a full refund. In rare cases, a model may be replaced due to illness, but only with someone of similar look and talent.

What is Right? Meet at a Bar
All meetups of the "What is Right?" group are intended, as the name implies, to be exploratory sessions in which participants might freely exchange views, contest and debate positions and, it is hoped, might demonstrate for one another what a principled conservative position ought to be. Among the various traits that a conservative thinker should have is a desire to preserve what our civilization got right, and to make innovations only with an abundance of caution and humility.
In order to get to the Bishop and the Belcher Pub, note that despite its Bloor Street address, it is actually located one block south of Bloor at the intersection of Church St. and Hayden St.

*”Shattering and exhilarating… a transfixing slow-boil take on the landmark Ibsen drama*”
*- **Hollywood Reporter***

Kundalini Activation & Sound Bath (New Moon Ceremony)
### 🌑 Kundalini Activation & Sound Bath — New Moon Ceremony
Step into a powerful evening of **reset, remembrance, and realignment**.
This New Moon Ceremony weaves together **Kundalini Activation** and **Sound Bath Healing**—two deeply transformative practices that work in harmony to clear stagnant energy, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect you with your true essence.
The **New Moon** is a natural portal for slowing down, turning inward, and planting intentional seeds for what you’re ready to call in next. Supported by the grounding energy of **Virgo**, this experience invites clarity, presence, and embodied alignment.
#### ✨ What to Expect
* **Kundalini Activation**
Gently awakens your life force energy, helping release emotional and energetic blockages while opening intuitive awareness. This is not forced movement or breathwork—your body moves only as it needs to.
* **Sound Bath Healing**
Crystal bowls, gongs, and sacred instruments create vibrational frequencies that calm the mind, soothe the nervous system, and support deep integration of the energetic work.
*
#### 🌿 Benefits of This Experience
* Energetic cleansing and renewal
* Emotional release and inner stillness
* Heightened awareness and intuitive clarity
* Deep nervous system regulation
* Realignment with your path and intentions
This ceremony is for you if you’re seeking **clarity, healing, grounding, or a deeper connection to yourself**—or if you simply feel called to pause and reset under the New Moon.
No prior experience is needed. Just come as you are.
✨ **Leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected—ready to step into your next chapter.**

TFS Presents a Billy Wilder Rom-Com Double Feature!
On Sunday, January 25, at the Paradise Theatre in Toronto, the Toronto Film Society is showing a double feature of two Billy Wilder romantic comedies - two films for one low price!
First up is *Sabrina* (1954): Audrey Hepburn lights up the screen in this sparkling Cinderella story with a dash of Parisian flair. When the chauffeur’s daughter returns home transformed from shy girl to elegant sophisticate, she turns the heads - and hearts - of both Larrabee brothers (played by Humphrey Bogart and William Holden). Billy Wilder’s writing and direction brings wit, romance, and razor-sharp dialogue to this timeless classic. Sabrina is pure Hollywood magic, wrapped in Givenchy and glowing with charm.
Next up is *Midnight* (1939): Don’t let the title fool you - Midnight is a champagne-soaked screwball delight from start to finish, also co-written by Billy Wilder! Claudette Colbert shines as a down-on-her-luck showgirl who stumbles into high society thanks to a borrowed gown and a well-timed lie. Add a lovestruck taxi driver, a meddling aristocrat (John Barrymore), and a whirl of mistaken identities, and you’ve got a comedy that’s as sharp as it is stylish. A hidden gem from the golden age of Hollywood, this one deserves the spotlight.
Please note that this is a paid event. You can purchase tickets online or at the door.

One light dramatic portraits in small spaces
This class is a practical, hands-on introduction to creating strong, dramatic portraits using a single light source.
We’ll be working in a small studio environment with one model and one light, focusing on how light placement, distance, and modifier choice completely change mood and shape. This is not a lecture-only class—you’ll see the setup demonstrated and then rotate through shooting time yourself.

• Light placement for short light, broad light, and high-contrast looks
• Controlling shadow depth and falloff in tight spaces
• Using minimal gear to create intentional, cinematic portraits
• Directing a model efficiently while lighting stays simple
What to expect
• Small group (10 photographers max)
• One shared lighting setup, adjusted live so you can see cause and effect
• Time to shoot the model and ask questions as we go
• Emphasis on decision-making, not presets or gimmicks
Who this is for
• Beginner to early-intermediate photographers
• Anyone who feels overwhelmed by multi-light setups
• Photographers who want stronger, more intentional portraits
What to bring
• Any camera (DSLR or mirrorless)
• A lens in the 35–85mm range is ideal

Join us this Saturday at 11 AM at the Fairfax Wegmans as we continue our Bible study and discussions.
Recently, we've been studying the "types" (patterns or pictures) of Jesus in the Old Testament in chronological order starting with creation. We will go all the way to David as a type of Jesus the King.
As anyone who's attended before knows, we have open discussions. Our goal is always to grow in our love, knowledge, and relationship with Jesus and to have fellowship.
We invite the presence of the Holy Spirit as we meet together and we've had some great conversations and revelations. Please join us as we continue our Bible study and prayers.
God bless you all,
Mihail
