Whether for portraits or reportages – genuine, authentic photos can only be taken if there is a connection between the photographer and the person being photographed. But how do you build trust within a few minutes? How do you create an atmosphere in which the person in front of the camera feels comfortable?
In this seminar, Dennis Weissmantel shows how targeted communication makes all the difference. As an experienced portrait and reportage photographer, he has been working for years on a structured approach to support precisely this process. The result: the so-called Mindkeys – tried and tested tools for reading people quickly, building trust and creating the desired mood with the right language.
The aim is to consciously use communication in front of the camera to achieve better, more natural results – especially in tight situations.
The seminar is aimed at anyone who wants to develop portrait photography not only technically, but also interpersonally. Because a good picture often begins long before the actual shutter release.
