About us

Based in Zurich, I bring over two decades of professional photographic practice and 10 years of teaching experience to a carefully curated workshop offering.

My courses are designed for photographers who seek a deeper understanding of their craft—refining technical control, mastering manual exposure, and working with light at a professional level in the studio.

Workshops are intentionally small and focused, allowing for individual attention and a precise, immersive learning experience. In addition, I offer bespoke mentoring and portfolio consultations for those pursuing a distinctive photographic voice.

Photography Workshop

Sat, Jun 6 · 10:00 AM CEST

Photostudio M. Calabrò, Rosengartenstrasse 75, 8037 Zürich, CH

Shooting only in Auto or Program mode is a thing of the past. We will learn when it makes sense to use Manual (M), Shutter Priority (TV), or Aperture Priority (AV) modes to create artistic compositions under a wide variety of conditions.
This workshop is designed for beginners as well as photographers who want to dive deeper into their camera settings, lenses, and the many features their gear has to offer.

Part 1: Getting Started (2h)

Full Control: Mastering Manual (M) mode.
The Essentials: Understanding Aperture, Shutter Speed, and ISO, and how they shape your image.
Semi-Auto Modes: When and why to use AV or TV modes.
Focus: An insight into various autofocus options.

Part 2: Lenses & Perspective (2h)
Unlike prime lenses, telephoto lenses offer more flexibility without having to move—but they also come with specific challenges. We will explore the pros and cons of different lenses and learn which glass is best suited for which purpose.

Part 3: Practical Application (2h)
Putting theory into practice outdoors, followed by a final Q&A session.

Course Hours:
The course runs from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
