WHAT YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO
LOCATION
The Beach House Collection, Yzerfontein
A WINTER BREAK-AWAY
BY THE SEA
Our first ever retreat will take place at the awe-inspiring White Sands villa in Yzerfontein, just 100km outside of Cape Town.
This 5-bedroom house boasts wrap-around views of the ocean and is a literal stone's throw away from the beach. This dreamy landscape will also form the backdrop to two exquisite content shoots.
In between Q&A's and shooting, you will get to enjoy morning coffee on the deck, sunrise yoga, hammock naps and heart-to-hearts by the fireplace over pasta and red wine.

MAGNECTIC MARKETING
What makes a powerful brand?
You could be the most gifted visual storyteller in the world, but it means absolutely for your business if you don't know how to effectively reach the people who could be investing in your services.
Are you waving your brand in people's faces, begging them to pay attention? OR are you creating a magnetic field of irresistible value around your brand, and attracting your dream clients as a result?
WE WILL COVER THE FOLLOWING TOPICS:
-
Rediscovering your 'why'
-
Establishing who your ideal client is and how that directly affects your messaging
-
Website analysis and review
-
Harnessing your super powers for social media
-
Building a personable, recognisable brand that leaves a lasting impression
-
Solving problems instead of making excuses (highly underrated!)
What makes a compelling image?
It's easy to produce a technically good image. Elements like composition, lighting, shape and texture are all aspects that can be applied, almost mathematically, to create a sense of visual interest.
However, as photographers we want to go beyond just producing technically good images.
What we're after is telling a story, drawing the viewer in and stirring up feelings that linger.
Photographs that have an ethereal effect on the observer are oftentimes created through brave and bold choices and by colouring outside the lines.
We will focus on topics like posing, camera awareness, shooting intuitively as well as different tools and techniques to add that emotive and artistic flair to your images without coming across overly stylized.
IMPACTFUL IMAGERY
Lumina Photography Retreat
YOUR
HOST
Photography started out as a way to channel my seemingly insatiable curiosity and desire to observe into some form of art. Since then it has grown into a way of preserving memories and treating them as sacred commodities, packaged beautifully and kept safe from the destructive qualites of time.
CHARNÉ KINGWILL
Every person who books a session with me deserves a photographer who never stops learning and growing, who is always drawing inspiration from people, nature and art and is constantly pushing the boundaries of creative expression. The day I lose my curiosity is the day I stop serving my clients and may as well put down my camera for good.
INVESTMENT
LUMINA is an immersive educational experience in service of bringing to light what sets you apart as an artist, both in vision and voice.
From the slightest nuances in creative expression to the more distinctive characteristics of your art, let's uncover your greatest superpowers and how you can harness them to attract dream clients and shoot work that continually allows you to delight in your craft.
Investing in your education not only means investing in yourself, but also in your business, which will ultimately lead to serving your clients better.
It's an undisputable win-win.
