SPONSORED BY FUJI PORTUGAL

SO LIKE WHAT WILL IT LOOK LIKE?

WHO IS THAT FOR?

This workshop is at the disposal of savvy photographers to tell them and evolve their business. Are you looking to learn more about your story, how to improve your communication with the customers who correspond to you and how you sell your service? Oporto Workshop by Eric-Rene Penoy is an intense workshop for your creativity and your business. Is it only for wedding photographers? No, it’s all about photographers who want to connect with couples, create simple but deep connections, and push their creativity and business.

Do you need a mega boost in your business? I can assure you I will make you gain 2/3 years of evolution for your company. This is my promise. I will share with you all the key points of my little success but I will also share all my big failures because nobody wants to share what did not work and only focus on their own story. The reality is not pretty, but we will learn from that experience too.
We will share together all the secrets of my business with zero bullshit.

PURPOSE

Oporto Workshop is a complete redesign of your communication. For my part, it's not about the number of years of experience, your popularity, or your likes on social networks. You must shape your personality, and know how to express your vision to target customers. How to be in touch with your perfect customers and offer them the most complete experience. Through your website, your price page, and additional services to offer to your couples. I want to share my time, experience, and knowledge with other people in the business without bullshit or compromise. If you share this vision then you will be interested in these exchanges between me.

His image style is absolutely beautiful. His honest and humble approach all around makes everyone feel safe and taken care of. Full of good tips to bring back to your own business, and so he has some incredibly important points to take with you to take care of nature. Do not change nature, leave nothing but footprints ..,

WHO ARE YOU ?

ERIC-RENÉ PENOY

I am the guy behind the lens. I am a full-time dreamer and definitely not a traditional wedding photographer.
I have always loved traveling and discovering new things.
During my childhood, I was fascinated by documentaries about Nature, Animals, and Wildlife.

I started to create and live in my own world, I was fond of imagining the world, watching television, movies, and national geographic shows or Jacques Cousteau Expeditions.

But I forgot to dream. For a few years, I was at Uni, I wanted to improve myself, maybe somewhere else, make my parents proud of me. Thus I finally got my first degree(s).

My bohemian soul resurfaced and I choose to head out to this Big World, trying to discover the essential beauty of life. I started photography because I was selling cameras. That is where it all started for me. Playing, having fun, and discovering my inner vision.

My friends asked me to shoot their wedding and I fell in love with the job. Not only because I finally felt free to do what I wanted to, but more because I loved having the opportunity to express my inner feelings.

I love storytelling and the most important for me is to explain a full day with hundreds of photographs full of small gestures, emotions, and love rather than only having just a couple of epic shots without a soul.
