The Serene Canvas

Santorini’s pristine white walls present a captivating canvas for those in search of sunset romance, hopeful souls seeking love, and photographers with diverse artistic sensibilities. Mary Alejo, the talented photographer, surreptitiously escaped during lunchtime with the stunning model, Jade Amber, to capture a mesmerizing exhibition that embodies pure artistic expression.

Shooting Locations and Focus

The seminar’s headquarters were at the Oia Sunset Villa, where they planned their excursions to different shooting locations. Attendees had the chance to shoot various styles, ranging from the iconic Caldera views to the charming white walls and staircase settings characteristic of Santorini. STC’s primary objective is to produce exceptional photography by providing professional lighting and photography guidance. The seminar aims to produce publishing content while exploring various photography styles and practices currently in high demand. Attendees originated from diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and styles, some with years of experience seeking to refine their skills at STC’s boutique seminars.

At STC, continuous learning is a cornerstone of our photography education philosophy. There is always more to learn about photography and equipment in order to use them more effectively and vice-versa. As a result, we provide our attendees with hands-on experience with premium gear and products from the world’s leading sponsors.

Behind the Scenes and STC Feature Filming

World-renowned aerial specialist and cinema camera operator Nikolay Anishchenko brought his toys and A-game to the seminar. He combined his skills with four drones, two of which were equipped with RED cinema cameras that captured the action at the highest quality, paired with RED Komodo ground units.

Jarmo Pohjaniemi, the seminar instructor, shared his photography principles and expertise with the attendees. He offered two different styles to learn from and taught attendees about lighting, style and timing techniques, and how to tell stories with or without pictures. The seminar focused on learning modern styles while recalling fundamental principles from the past, which paved the way for attendees to build on them. There was also a “Show me the money” business session about monetizing one’s images and camera use.
