Due to the massive success of our workshops we have decided to extend our teaching services to offer one on one tutorials.

These private tutorials will be with studio owner Agata Stoinska and will run for an hour and a half. In this time, Agata will give a full critique of your portfolio, exploring the areas you may wish to develop or strengthen. Aesthetically, Agata will cover composition, pose, lens choice, depth of field and getting the best performance from your model. Other topics include business strategy, sourcing a styling team getting the best shots on a no budget shoot, photographic exercises and both lighting and shooting techniques. Photoshop and retouching tips will also be covered in this tutorial.

In addition to the one on one tutorials, Agata is available for a photoshoot tutorial where she will guide you through a test shoot with a model, stylist, hair and make up artist and coach you on the codes and practises of professional fashion photography.

For details or to make a booking, please contact the studio manager at

086 0233247 or email aoife@d-lightstudios.com
