Faces & Spaces
Exclusive photo sessions at unique locations The first edition is currently in preparationUnique opportunity and experience
Not every special location is freely accessible. That is precisely why we look for places where you wouldn’t normally be able to take photographs. Faces & Spaces is an exclusively Hanzebeeld concept which brings together photographers, models and unique locations for a exclusive photography experience.
Exclusive, because ‘Faces & Spaces‘is small-scale, taking place at locations that are normally inaccessible or barely accessible to photographers.’
Whether it’s an old factory, a listed building, a historic estate or any other setting full of character: every Faces & Spaces event centres on a unique venue brimming with photography, creativity and experience. And the ingredients are always the same: photogenic models at photogenic and unique locations..
What can you expect?
- Small groups (up to 10 photographers)
- Professional models
- Unique locations
- Space and time to take photographs in peace and quiet
- A variety of settings and styles
- Not a workshop, but an inspiring photography experience
We are currently putting together the first series of Faces & Places. Would you like to be the first to know about new dates and venues? If so, please leave your email address or get in touch – there’s no obligation.
Who is it for?
The Faces & Spaces series is aimed at photographers (both amateur and professional) who would like to gain experience in portrait, fashion and fine-art photography at locations that are not normally easily accessible.
The Faces & Spaces are no workshops but a unique opportunity for you to photograph a model at a unique location. Something that’s usually very difficult to do.
We’ll sort out the models and the location; you take the photos.
Places with a story to tell
We deliberately choose not to use standard photo studios.
Every Faces & Places event takes place at a a venue with character:
- industrial heritage
- historic buildings
- estates
- or other special places that add to the atmosphere of the photos
It is precisely the combination of model, lighting and location that makes every edition of Faces & Places unique.
