LUMINA - "the light"

AN IMMERSIVE EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE
 
YOU'RE HERE BECAUSE YOU HAVE SOMETHING INSIDE YOU THAT SETS YOU APART. A RARE GIFT, ENERGY AND VISION, WAITING TO BE UNCOVERED.

LET'S BRING IT TO LIGHT.

WHAT YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO

DISCOVER

Our first aim is to create an environment in which you are able to discover and mould your identity and artistic voice. We will explore what sets you apart as a creative, the unique driving forces behind your art and how that can help you envision exactly what your
ideal client looks like.

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.

Are your bags packed yet?

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.
