I am Irina Skripnik – wedding, event and creative photographer based in Odessa, Ukraine. For over 10 years I am one of the leading wedding photographers in my region. I create special photography projects and have developed unique techniques of photography post-processing.
My workshop program takes three days to deep dive into the world of wedding and creative photography. During the workshop we will do two complete photo sessions that will include demonstrations of the whole process from pre-production to post-production.
You will get a lot of useful information that can be used for commercial or personal creative shooting.
