How it unfolds
Two days on the Riviera.
The rail follows the light of the two days: dusk, daylight, night. Each moment alternates image and story.
Evening one
We meet the evening before
The experience begins on Friday evening in Grasse. The night before the workshop is included, so you can arrive on the Riviera at your own pace, settle in and meet the group before the day ahead. We will gather in the evening to get to know each other and walk through how the workshop unfolds. No formal briefing. Simply a first moment together before the adventure begins.
Day two
The shooting day
After breakfast, we head to Château Diter. The day flows through the different universes created for the occasion. Each group moves from one scene to the next following a schedule planned in advance, so every participant experiences the full production. Breaks, lunch and drinks are provided throughout the day. And once the last images are made, the cameras can finally stay in their bags.
Day two · Evening
The closing dinner
I did not want the experience to end the moment we leave the château. So we will all come together for a closing dinner. A moment to breathe after the day, look at the first images, share impressions, talk photography, weddings, projects, or something else entirely. Because the encounters and the conversations are also part of what I want to create through these workshops.

Dedicated shooting time in every universe
Why small groups
Built so you actually get to photograph.
This was one of the most important points for me in designing this day. I did not want a workshop where fifteen photographers line up behind one couple, all trying to capture the same image.
The 15 participants will be divided into small groups, rotating between the different universes of the workshop. Each group gets dedicated shooting time: room to move, to look for your framing, to test your ideas, to interact with the models and, above all, to create your own images.
The idea is simple. Take your time, and photograph in the right conditions.
What every workshop looks like
You leave with more than photographs.
A portfolio that opens doors
Publication-worthy editorial images you can use the very next day.
A sharper eye
The art direction, composition and light instincts that separate good photographers from sought-after ones.
A premium positioning
The visual identity and confidence to attract higher-end couples and brands.
A network
A small, hand-picked group of photographers who share your level of ambition, plus a connection that lasts well beyond the day.
What's included
- One night's accommodation in Grasse between the two days
- Breakfast on day two
- Exclusive access to Château Diter for the day
- A full day of shooting across several editorial universes
- Models and all the vendors on the production
- Wardrobe, floral design, stationery and every detail styled for the scenes
- Lunch and drinks throughout the day

Who it's for
This workshop is for you if you:
- Already shoot weddings, couples or portraits, or are seriously building toward it
- Want to move from "nice photos" to a recognisable editorial signature
- Dream of working with premium couples and being published
- Learn best by doing, in a real, high-end setting
- Value atmosphere, taste and human connection as much as technique
You'll bring your own camera and lenses; everything else, the location, the styling, the direction, is taken care of.
What if this was the right moment?
We often wait for the right wedding, the right couple, the right venue or the right opportunity to create the images we truly have in mind. Sometimes, you simply have to decide to create that opportunity yourself.
This workshop is an invitation to step outside of what you already photograph, to explore a more ambitious aesthetic, and to give yourself the space to create differently. Not to become a different photographer. To reveal more of the one you want to become.
If this speaks to you, then you are exactly where you need to be.

FAQ
Do I need to be a professional photographer?
No, but you should be comfortable with your camera in manual mode. These workshops are built to elevate an existing foundation, whether you're a working pro or seriously building toward it.
What should I bring?
Your camera body, your favourite lenses, spare batteries and memory cards. Everything else, the location, styling, couple and direction, is provided.
How many photographers per workshop?
Fifteen, maximum. The intimacy is intentional: it's what makes the experience personal and the access possible.
Do the two days go together?
Yes. The evening in Grasse, the full day at Château Diter and the closing dinner are one continuous experience, booked once. A night's accommodation and breakfast are included.
