Weekend Workshop: Portraiture with Knut Koivisto

Welcome to a workshop in portrait photography with one of Sweden's most respected photographers and the creator of Fotografiska's Wall of Fame - Knut Koivisto!

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP

Welcome to a new weekend workshop with Knut Koivisto. The course takes place on Saturday and Sunday, March 16-17, starting at 10.00 a.m. During the two days we will work with light, storytelling and positioning. Lunch and coffee are included on both days as well as entrance to all exhibitions in the house.

So who is Knut Koivisto? In 1997, he opened his first studio, specializing in corporate portraits and stills for Swedish feature films and TV. This was the start of his success story and today Knut is one of Sweden's most respected portrait photographers. If you've been to Fotografiska, you can't have missed his portraits of photographers climbing Fotografiska's Wall of Fame - a permanent and ever-growing exhibition. With his humanistic worldview, he looks beyond the title of the image and straight into the heart, always focusing on the individual. His stripped-down portraits capture reality as it is, without forced poses and fake personalities.

Knut is also one of the X-Photographers - FUJIFILM's 15 ambassador photographers, who have played a central role in the development of FUJIFILM's products.

Since I don't have that kind of money I will do something similar. Book a whole weekend to take some new portraits and have some extra nice lunch. Testing some new lighting but first I will check all videos I can find on Youtube on Knut Koivisto for inspiration.
