Join a 7-day immersive cinematic photography retreat in Budapest from June 1–8, 2027.
This retreat is created for photographers who want to go deeper into cinematic storytelling, lighting, atmosphere, styling, and working with models - not just as a simple workshop, but as a full creative experience.
During the retreat, we will create multiple carefully prepared cinematic photo sets in different locations around Budapest. Each concept will be built around mood, character, light, color, styling, and storytelling, so participants can create strong portfolio-level images.
Planned sets include:
knight armor in a castle or historical location
knight armor in a field or forest
cinematic street scenes in my personal visual style
atmospheric apartment/interior scenes
an old Chinese restaurant inspired by Wong Kar-wai aesthetics
a dramatic concept with airplanes or burning cars
optional abandoned church / darker editorial concept
The main focus of this retreat is shooting, practice, and creating strong visual work. I will explain how I build each scene, how I work with light, how I direct models, how I choose angles, and how I turn a simple idea into a cinematic frame.
Participants will have time to shoot each set themselves, receive guidance during the process, and see how I approach the scene from the inside — from idea to final frame.
The retreat is limited to only 6 participants, so everyone gets enough time to shoot, ask questions, and receive feedback.
Included in the retreat:
accommodation in Budapest
transport during the retreat
prepared locations
models
lighting equipment
props and styling elements
BTS coverage
creative analysis and feedback during the retreat
basic snacks and water
Not included:
travel to and from Budapest
meals
personal expenses
visa or travel documents, if needed
This retreat is ideal for photographers who want to build a stronger cinematic portfolio, learn how to work with complex concepts, improve their visual storytelling, and experience a full creative production environment in a small group.
