Mentorship with Michael Betzner

This mentorship with renowned photographer Michael Betzner was an inspiring blend of creative exploration and skill refinement. The day began with a portrait session featuring Michael himself in front of the olympic stadium, setting the tone for a collaborative creative experience.

The session then transitioned to the Montreal Botanical Garden, where Isa, our stunning model, brought elegance and vibrancy to the shoot. Dressed in a striking red dress and lipstick, she posed against the white glass walls of the greenhouses, making her outfit pop against the minimalist backdrop. Another highlight included portraits in front of intricate ceramic tile walls, adding texture and visual interest to the floral and feminine vibe. 

After exploring the lush garden side, we crossed over to the urban landscapes of the Olympic Stadium and its nearby skate park. The bold lines and industrial landscape offered a dramatic contrast to the earlier soft and colorful settings, creating a dynamic mix of imagery.

This mentorship not only allowed me to refine my skills and produce a diverse collection of portraits, but it also offered the chance to connect with like-minded creatives.
