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.

Alternative fine art with Kiara
Kiara is not an interchangeable studio model — she is the reason to come. Full sleeves on both arms, a mandala across the back, piercings. In front of a camera she produces a visual language that works away from the mainstream: hard in contrast, editorial in attitude, precise in the pose.
Over the weekend we work through the full range — clear portrait, boudoir, and fine-art nude. Usually six setups a day, each prepared, each with real time at the set. Soft light does not serve this kind of work; you will learn where to put contrast so the drawing survives, and how posing and shadow edge belong together.
The model — Kiara
Kiara is an alternative tattoo model based in Florence, Italy. She rarely works in German-speaking Europe, and the first workshop with her in March 2025 sold out. She is equally strong in portrait, boudoir and nude, and brings what this imagery needs: presence, calm, and a clear pose.
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.

Cannot be there? · Livestream
Sunday 31 January · 15:30–17:30 (Berlin)
Cannot make it in person? On the Sunday we stream the shoot with Kiara 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
✦
A look you cannot cast for
Full sleeves, a mandala back piece, piercings. The imagery only works with someone who actually carries it.
★
No scrum
Five photographers per day at most, and only one shoots at a time. Enough time at the set, and quiet to actually work.
◆
Rarely in this part of Europe
Kiara travels in from Florence and does not often work in German-speaking countries. The first workshop with her sold out.
