Join the fun

Embark on a photographic journey that explores the captivating art of nude photography amidst the breathtaking volcanic scenery of Lanzarote. Expect slot canyons, black beaches, lava tubes, stunning architecture, sea caves, and more.

I've designed the workshop for photographers eager to enhance their skills and creativity and for accomplished photographers who want an opportunity to capture stunning art nude model images in some of Europe's most unique and picturesque locations. 

In either event, you'll be shooting in the most breathtaking settings without the hassle of paying for models' travel or researching locations.
All that is taken care of from you arrive until you leave.

And one detail you might be interested in:
Public nudity is allowed in Lanzarote (with some limitations), so there will be opportunities for shoots that are hard to find elsewhere.

What You'll get out of this:

• Master Composition Techniques: 
  Learn how to frame your subjects for maximum visual impact, using triune brain theory to captivate the viewer's attention and "force them" to engage with your images.
• Increase your creativity, and learn how to create your style
  We'll give you amazing insights on creating unique photos that nobody but you can create and show you a path to refine your style into a recognizable style.
• Utilizing Natural Light: 
  Discover the magic of working with natural light to create soft,
  dramatic and ethereal images.
• Model Interaction:
  Gain confidence in directing and engaging with models to bring out
  their best poses. Our professional models will also offer suggestions on improving communication and posing to enhance your skills, should you need that.
• Create Timeless Images: 
  Focus on producing work that stands out and remains
  impactful over time.
  Thomas Holm will share his considerable award-winning knowledge and experience to help you excel.

• On the first two days following the workshop, extra 1:1 shoots with the models can be booked.

Participants:
The workshop is limited to eight people, so there is a 2:1 photographer-to-model ratio.

One key advantage of our multi-day workshop format is the ability to shoot during the golden hours of early morning and late evening, ensuring the best natural light for your photography. 
That leaves midday for locations that work best for indoor shoots, possibly a bit of sightseeing (there are some super cool need-to-see places in Lanzarote), and lunch when the light is a bit harsh for photoshoots during the day.

There will also be afternoon feedback sessions to provide continual feedback and some time to relax, have a dip in the pool, or take a nap at your accommodation.

The workshop base is a 250m2 Villa with a heated pool. It is well-groomed and decorated in typical island villa style, with plenty of gorgeous features for backdrops and locations.

Accommodation
We recommend staying somewhere in Charco del Palo, an optional nudist village that will serve as our workshop base. 

Check out Booking.com or Airbnb, accommodation is inexpensive if you book early, and it will enhance your experience being nearby.

The workshop base is at the northern end of the village (C. Punta Del Pasito), and the entire town is within minutes walking distance.

All trips will begin from the workshop base.

NB: Nudity in the village is not required and is not in your face. 
Supermarket and restaurants are clothed areas.
Clothes are fine anywhere in the village; nudity is optional.

Travel to Lanzarote
We suggest traveling to Lanzarote (Airport code ACE) the day before so you will be well-rested and not stressed out in case of delays. 
If you can't arrive the day before, let us know when you arrive, and we'll advise accordingly.

The easiest way to get from the airport to Charco Del Palo is to either grab a taxi or rent a car (car rental is very cheap on the island, and all main roads are well maintained).
We will set up a WhatsApp group some days before the workshop, which can help with carpooling.

Model Information
Our fantastic models on this trip are:

• Georgia Brown (UK)
• The Endless Sinner (Sweden)
• Wiana model (Iceland/DK
• Zsan Of Sweden (Sweden).

Each model has unique characteristics and is very open and accommodating, and you are guaranteed to love working with all of them.

They will work with you in a trusting environment to create stunning and tasteful images, offering suggestions and posing techniques to help you capture their best sides. 
They can work unaided and also take direction well.
Everyone is comfortable with respectful erotic photography, should anyone be interested in creating this style. 

Requirements to participate

The requirements for participating in the workshop are easy.
This is for everyone who wants to photograph art nudes regardless of current level:

• Your proficiency level or which camera you own doesn't matter. 
  Thomas Holm will assist you to whatever degree you require with respect to the other participants' needs.

• You own a camera that can be set to manual and have a reasonably good idea about how to use it.

Are you joining us?

All the boring but necessary legalese:

When you sign up, you are free to cancel until July 1st.
After that, the signup is binding, but you can pass on your space to another photographer if you know someone interested in going. 
We can also help you find another participant to take your space should you be unable to participate, provided this is possible and for a reasonable fee.

(*) If you book and choose incremental payment before August, you will pay 40% upon signup. 

The two remaining installments, each for 30%, will be payable as follows:

If you book after the 14th of a month, the next installment will be due two calendar months later, and the last installment a month later, as illustrated below:

• Sign up, and pay 40% on April 5. Then 30% on May 3rd. + 30% on June 3rd.
• Sign up, and pay 40% on April 15. Then 30% on June 3rd. + 30% on July 3rd.

If you sign up during August (pending availability), we can split the payment into two installments:

You can pay the remaining installment(s) via a Payment link (credit card) or Bank Transfer (Swift/Bic in your online bank).

The following sounds harsh, and we REALLY don't want to invoke this.
But we also don't want to spend a lot of energy and frustration trying in vain to make someone fulfill their obligation to pay.
If you choose payment installments, please make sure to pay on time.

Should you fail to pay any of the following installments, we will alert you within 7 days.
If you still fail to pay the remainder within 7 days, you forfeit (lose) your space and will not receive a refund.
We will make "your" space available to other participants, and you will lose the installment(s) you have paid.

All workshop fees and installments must be paid no later than two weeks before the workshop starts, regardless of when the booking is made.
