On my camera, with your RAWs
Want to try an f/0.95 lens for once?
Brightin Star 50 mm f/0.95 (APS-C) · ein 35 mm f/0.95 ist angekündigt
A lens that opens at f/0.95 is not something most people own, and there is nowhere to try one. Here there is: it sits ready on a Sony body, you shoot with it whatever camera you brought, and the RAWs are yours.

Two days with Parthenope
Two days working through the full range: portrait, lingerie, and artistic nude up to full body. Usually six setups per day, each one prepared, each one with real time at the set.
Parthenope brings something you see immediately in her existing work: she functions in two very different languages of light. Warm and soft — available light, golden tones, a lot of skin in very little light. And hard and graphic — black and white, clean edges, full figure against a bright ground. Both suit her, and we photograph both.
December light
Early December, daylight is effectively gone by mid-afternoon. That is not a drawback here, it is part of the lesson: you will see where available light stops being usable, and what a f/0.95 lens buys you before you reach for the strobe.
Getting there
The studio is in Oberstenfeld, Germany — 25 minutes from Stuttgart, 20 from Heilbronn, with parking at the door. Stuttgart Airport is about an hour away, and the ICE stops in Stuttgart. Several participants each year travel in from abroad.
Language
The workshop is run in German, but Patrick speaks English and every setup is shown as well as explained — lamp positions, modifiers, aperture. Photographers from outside Germany have taken part before and had no trouble following along.

Arrival, briefing, first setup
A short round: what we want to get today, who is working on what. Then the first light goes up.
-
10:00 – 12:00
Portrait and lingerie
Two or three setups from tight portrait to lingerie. Everyone comes to the set on their own; light and pose are corrected as you go.

Break
Drinks, snacks, and a look at the frames on screen.
-
12:30 – 14:30
Nude
The nude part of the day — from implied to classical full nude, directed and paced.
Cannot be there? · Livestream
Sunday 6 December · 15:30–17:30 (Berlin)
Cannot make it in person? On the Sunday we stream the shoot with Parthenope and Patrick — an education stream with everything announced and explained, for anyone who wants to learn without standing in the studio.
An education stream, not adult content: every lighting setup is announced and explained — lamp positions, modifiers, aperture, and why a mood looks the way it does. Questions go through the chat and get answered on air.

Why this workshop
✦
The full range in two days
Portrait, lingerie, nude. Parthenope's agreed scope covers every level, so you do not have to commit to one genre.
★
Two languages of light
Warm, soft available light against hard black-and-white direction — we work through both, not only the easier one.
◆
One at the set
Five photographers a day, never at the same time. You work with Parthenope, not against four cameras.

The complete nude and boudoir work from Parthenope — and from every other workshop — is on our Patreon, along with the things a sales page has no room for: lighting diagrams for each setup, behind the scenes, and retouching runs.
