Boheme Workshop - Athens - 2018
In a saturated industry where it seems everyone is hosting a workshop, how do we decide what the best investment for our marketing budget is? I'm lucky enough to have traveled all over the globe speaking at events and workshops and have met hundreds of workshop attendees and vendors who are incredible at what they do. Every workshop is inspiring in it's own way and this October we're off to Boheme Workshops in Athens for the 4th consecutive year. It's rare that a successful workshop runs for years but Vasia has been running twice yearly workshops for the last few years and selling out each time. It's seen the sights of God's Mountain in Canada, Santorini (bucket list!), mainland Greece and now this year we're all heading to Athens! One of the most historical cities in the world, Athens is the perfect neutral, crumbling backdrop for the beauty that Vasia, Celsia Floral, White Event Studio, and more will be creating. So what kind of workshop do you need?...
PORTFOLIO BUILDING
All the pretty! Boheme Workshops is renowned for it's attention to fine art details and providing the most stunning backdrops for attendees to photograph. Vasia speaks Greek and seems to have an unrivalled ability to source the most epic locations for her editorials! These images here are a snippet of what has been photographed over the years but head here to see all the editorials that have been shot.
LEARNING HOW TO SHOOT MORE FILM
This includes shooting it for the first time, shooting in different lighting conditions, shooting it as a business model profitably, and shooting film efficiently. For the first time ever this year, Vasia is putting more time aside during the editorials to talk through and practically show how she shoots and why. Plus longer and more in depth tutorials during the teaching days mean this workshop is a font of knowledge for anyone wanting to incorporate more film into their business model.
NETWORKING
An often underestimated tool when attending workshops is the networking opportunities! And not just the vendors but the attendees too! Want to shoot more destination weddings in another country? You might just be at the workshop with someone who lives in that country who would love to shoot where you're based!
I will also be there talking to attendees about getting published, social media, branding and where the industry is moving. It's not just a 1-2 hour presentation however, I'll be there all day every day ready to answer any questions you might have about your business. Want me to check out your Instagram? Looking for a different client base and not sure how to get there to attract them? Wondering why you're spending money on editorials and they're not getting picked up? These are just a couple of the questions I get asked the most so don't be afraid to bring anything to the table and we'll discuss it!
