Overview
This Valentine’s Day, step away from clichés and into something far more powerful.
Queen of Hearts is a creative portrait photography workshop built around drama, movement, and emotion. Rich red tones, flowing fabric, and strong feminine energy come together in a cinematic studio setup designed to challenge how you see, pose, and light a subject.
Working with the incredible Jesi Faun, we’ll explore how fabric becomes part of the story, how body language changes mood, and how light sculpts emotion rather than simply illuminates a face.
This is not about copying poses.
It’s about directing presence.
You’ll photograph multiple setups, each designed to give you variety, movement, and editorial-worthy images, while learning how to control light, guide your model, and refine your creative vision.
