MOdel guidance, level 1
Your model doesn’t need more poses. They need better direction.
You can show someone a hundred poses and still miss the most important part: knowing how to guide them. Learn to communicate with your model, build a connection and explore how approaches from acting can transform the way you direct people in front of the camera.
This is the foundation of Model Guidance - a practical starting point for photographers who want to do more than tell people how to pose.

MODEL GUIDANCE WORKSHOP, LEVEL 2
Many photographers know how to give directions, but when poses become more complex, balance, breathing and natural movement can get lost.
This is a more physical and technical level. Awareness alone is no longer enough. Here we build structure.
Date: 28. November 2026
Time: 16.00-20.00
Location: Tulika Põik 4, Tallinn
Participation fee (LIVE): 150€
Participation fee (ONLINE): 20€
The workshop will be held in Estonian. Limited to 6 participants.
Prerequisite: Completion of Level 1 or at least 2–3 years of practical experience directing models.
If you’re not yet aware of your own breathing patterns and directing habits, I recommend starting with Level 1.
MODEL GUIDANCE WORKSHOP — LEVEL 3
Focus: From State to Narrative. It’s about embodied storytelling.
This level is for those who want to:
Create a character, not just a pose.
Work with inspiration and visual references (Pinterest, reference images).
Connect model direction with acting and movement.
Incorporate improvisation and dance-based movement.
