I'm Pawel Lipski
I'm an international photography coach, based in Zurich, Switzerland.
I specialise exclusively in people photography in natural light - because to me, people are the most fascinating photographic subjects, with an endless variety of faces, expressions and emotions.
I spent more than 10 years perfecting the ways to use natural light to create studio-like portraits anywhere, in any weather.
βAnd this is what I teach photography enthusiasts around the world.
Only Natural Light
People think that magazine-quality portraits can only be done in a studio, with tonnes of lighting equipment.
But actually, you can get similar results without a studio, and without any additional equipment at all.
Just you, your camera, and your model.
You just need to know where to find great natural light around you, and how to use it. Where and how to position your model.
Perfect Without Editing
Most people photography courses will teach you how to take a decent portrait - then how to manipulate it to perfection in Photoshop, often beyond recognition.
I don't do that.
I teach how to make your portraits perfect straight from the camera, so there is no need for any editing.
How to create a finished image in the viewfinder, before pressing the shutter.
How to show people’s real beauty, without digital manipulation.

"After 3 hours I had my first WOW effect. It was fantastic to see what can be possible if you just apply a few little tricks and look at the light right"
