“Ásta & Kári have extensive knowledge and experience,  they are both very skilled in sharing it with their students. Great teachers, personal and professional through and through. We all learned the basics of working in a studio and got great insight into the world of photography. Their personal experiences come from the heart and made a great impact on us. Their stories created the world of photography available as a professional career and gave us great insight how to break into the industry and achieve great success. Day 1 was filled with lectures and introductions which were very precise and helpful, they shared with us their years of experiences and knowledge in a very precise and interesting way. On day 2 we got more of a hands on experience which was guided in a  personal and professional manner in which they taught us how to work and flow efficiently on set and how to easily and effectively communicate on set and we learned the importance of good communication skills between everyone involved. My respect for people in the industry and my fellow students grew immensely and I can highly recommend this workshop to everyone that are interested in photography. Thank you very much Ásta for your great experience and for helping me become a better and more experienced photographer. I will take this with me into my future and my career as a photographer.”

“This masterclass is one of the best courses I’ve participated in ever. My passion for photography has been in my heart since I was a teenager and I’ve read a lot about photography and taken tons if images in all kinds situations thou mostly landscape photography. I have for a long time wanted to learn how to shoot in a studio and when I saw this workshop advertised I decided that this would be the right opportunity for me, to go and learn from the people that have dedicated their life to the art of photography. I was not disappointed. On the first day we learned a lot about Ásta’s and Kári’s experience and their knowledge with much passion and heart. They taught us the importance of good communication skills with everyone involved, from preparation to the shoot it self. We learned how important it is to create good images and to maintain good vibes on set. The second day felt like a fairytale, we all got the opportunity to shoot with models, makeup artists and stylists with the guidance of Ásta and Kári. What impressed me the most is how much unity and teamwork developed instantly amongst everyone. We were all occupied helping each-other on the shoot rather than each individual trying to get their best shot. The outcome became as many artworks as the amount of students in the class. Everyone had their unique approach therefor the images were all very different from each other but each image looking amazing. I can highly recommend this unique course.”

“My experience with photography is six years of self-learning online and practice with fellow photographers and photography school educators. I took this course to refresh my photography knowledge, and it has been such a help! I feel reinvigorated and motivated in ways I wasn’t even in the past. The learning was fun and easy to understand, and I love that Ásta and Kári combined personal experiences and practical knowledge of photography businesses. They did a great job making me so welcoming plus, now I have a chance to assist Kári as a photographer assistant for fashion photography, which is so exciting! I recommend this for any amateur or semi-professional photographer! Takk MasterClass!”
