On my camera, with your RAWs
AdvertisementWant to try an f/0.95 lens for once?
Brightin Star 50 mm f/0.95 und 35 mm f/0.95 (APS-C)
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 Sephora
Two days working through the full range: portrait and fashion, lingerie, implied, topless and artistic nude. Usually six setups per day, each one prepared, each one with real time at the set.
Sephora comes from Lake Geneva in Switzerland and has modelled full time for more than six years. She is 179 cm, blonde, blue eyes, no visible tattoos or piercings, and works from a clean editorial portrait through to artistic nude.
That it is her profession shows immediately: she holds a pose until the light is right, instead of moving constantly and hoping a frame lands. That is exactly what matters when you want to move a lamp, meter again and change the angle — the subject is still there.
One limit is fixed and applies to everyone equally: no open-leg poses. Everything up to that is part of the weekend, and each setup is announced beforehand.
Language at the set
Sephora speaks French and English, so at the set it runs in English and Patrick translates where it is needed. You do not need fluent English for that — the setups are shown as well as explained.
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.
How a day runs
-
09:30
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, fashion and lingerie
Two or three setups from tight portrait through fashion to lingerie. Everyone comes to the set on their own; light and pose are corrected as you go.

12:00 – 12:30
Break
Drinks, snacks, and a look at the frames on screen.
-
12:30 – 14:30
Implied and artistic nude
The nude part of the day — from implied through topless to artistic nude, directed and paced.
Cannot be there? · Livestream
Sunday 18 April · 16:00–18:00 CEST (Berlin)
Language · English, with live German subtitles on screen
Cannot make it in person? On the Sunday we stream the shoot with Sephora 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 pornography: 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.
Portrait, lingerie and at most one nude setup are shown — the poses are agreed beforehand, with no open-leg poses and nothing explicit. Access is restricted to adults.
Why this workshop
✦
The full range in two days
Portrait and fashion, lingerie, implied, topless, artistic nude. Sephora's agreed scope covers the whole stretch, so you do not have to commit to one genre.
★
A professional in front of the camera
Over six years modelling full time. She holds a pose until the light is right — which is exactly what you need when you want to rebuild something.
◆
One at the set
Five photographers a day, never at the same time. You work with Sephora, not against four cameras.
