“The topic I teach the most: How to light, pose and photograph beautiful models”

What is MrLeica.Com Patreon?

I made a short video to explain!

A taste of Patreon BTS videos (with models)

This YouTube video includes some non-dubbed over model shoot behind the scenes footage as I share on Patreon to give you a taster of what to expect. (Skip past the tech bit at the start if you’re less interested in learning lighting).

*The content shared varies from month to month depending on what I’m photographing. Some months is more model shoots, other weeks might be more about film photography. I don’t have a posting schedule so some weeks see more posts and other weeks are quieter. You have the massive 2 years back catalogue to work your way through on the quiet weeks.
