Workshops
Since 2023, I have also been imparting my photographic knowledge in the form of workshops, which I offer either as individual workshops or in cooperation with the Fotoschule Gesäuse or other organisations.
Dates
29 June 2024 – Light and Dark
High key and low key are different image styles. While high key aims to deliberately overexpose the scene, low key deliberately underexposes it.
With the help of these stylistic devices, the special features of nature can be depicted and interpreted in a completely different way. To create these moods during the course, we will use flashes and diffusers, in addition to that we will also learn how to use the histogram during the workshop.
The renowned nature photographer Kai Kolodziej likes to use both methods to place the photographed objects in the centre of attention – he would like to pass this knowledge on to the course participants.
Number of participants: Min. 5, max. 8 participants
Date: Saturday, 29 June 2024, 09:00 am to 5:00 pm
Location / Meeting point: Admont, Studio of the National Park Photo School – Gesäuse National Park

21 September 2024 – Details of Nature
Capturing the beauty of nature in pictures is one of the central motivations of many nature photographers.
It is precisely the details and subtleties of nature that fascinate the instructor of this course. The aim of the day is to discover and photographically capture the numerous structures and hidden details. You will be supported by the renowned nature photographer Kai Kolodziej, who very often focusses on structures or details in his work and thus draws the viewer’s eye to the unnoticed.
Number of participants: Min. 5, max. 8 participants

Receiving honest criticism of your work is not always easy in the age of social media, and this is precisely the concept behind the online image review.

The meeting will take place via Zoom and the editing of the images will also be discussed.

Online Coaching – Photo Competitions
Selecting images for photo competitions can be extremely challenging and difficult, especially the first few times.
What does the jury look for? And how does the judging process actually work?
These questions will be addressed in the Zoom meeting, for an optimal workshop it is important to let me know in advance which nature photography competition you would like to take part in, so that I can focus specifically on it.
Furthermore, you will send me a portfolio of your best pictures in advance and mark which ones you plan to submit. So that I can give you tips on how to improve them or possibly recommend a picture that should definitely be submitted.
