What will you learn?
The Preps.
At the beginning of the workshops I will explain how I prepare my ideas, the different tools I use, how I find my models, How I create my mood boards, how I choose the location, and how I plan my shoot in details.
Shooting.
During the workshop, a professional model/actress will join us and will pose for us for 3 hours. I will show you how I shoot, explain to you the different meanings of different angles, the lens I choose, my settings, and how to guide the model for a cinematic result.
Editing.
And of course the editing part. After the shoot with our model, we will go to a meeting room I rent specifically for you where I will share with you all my editing secrets. We will edit the photos together and you will go back home with a beautiful cinematic series ready to be posted.

WHO AM I?
In case you don’t know me yet, my name is Maxime Tuczapski (call me Max), I’m a photographer born and raised in Paris, specializing in Narrative Photography. What’s Narrative Photography? This is when pictures are taken to tell a story or show feelings by capturing different moments that together tell a whole story, and that’s exactly what I’m going to teach you in this workshop!
After living 8 years in Poland, I decided to quit my job in 2021 to travel the world and live from my passion. I spent 4 months in Asia traveling with just my camera, a small backpack and a few tshirts, I’ve been invited to Canada by a First Nation chief to spend a week in his tribe, camping and watching whales and orcas in North Vancouver Island, and the list is long.
After working as a photographer for prestigious companies such as Google or MAESA, a communication agency based in Manhattan, but also luxury hotels and resorts in Thailand, Las Vegas and Poland, or Photography brands such as Panajou, Viltrox, H&Y filters and more, I decided to take a new direction in my journey: to teach you everything I know!
