Where Lost Places meet Fine Art.
Czech Fairy Tale 3.0 brings together a small circle of photographers, four professional models, and two extraordinary locations in the Czech Republic. Saturday takes you deep into the forests of the Ore Mountains and the abandoned tin mines of Rolava — concrete, moss, fading industrial geometry, and the kind of light you remember for years. Sunday shifts gears completely: an elegant historic apartment in Karlovy Vary, soft window light, intimate Fine-Art and Boudoir scenes.
Maximum two photographers per model per slot. Hotel, meals, transport between locations, and optional coaching are included. Bring your camera, your concepts, and your curiosity — we take care of the rest.
Meet between 19:00 — 19:30 at the hotel. Dinner together, a relaxed run-through of the weekend, first contact with the models and your fellow photographers. The fairy tale starts gently.
The first shooting day takes us to the Lost Place of Rolava — abandoned tin mines, moss-covered stairs, open concrete halls. Four shooting slots of 1.5 hours, max. two photographers per model. Optional 1:1 slots in the afternoon. Coaching with Patrick whenever you want it.
Day two unfolds in a historic apartment in the heart of Karlovy Vary. Soft window light, period interiors, Fine-Art and Boudoir at their best. Four 1-hour slots, optional 1:1 and coaching. The event ends around 15:30.
The hotel is the base for the whole weekend. Transport between hotel and shooting locations is organised by us — you just need to land somewhere reasonable. The closest airport is Karlovy Vary (KLV), but Prague, Dresden and Nuremberg are all well-connected options.
Four professional models, each with a strong, distinct visual language.
A workshop is only as good as the people running it. Two of us, one philosophy: small groups, generous attention, calm logistics.
Photographer for 15 years and counting, organizer of 100+ workshops since 2015. Patrick lives where Fine-Art portraiture meets the quiet drama of light. Across the weekend, he's at your side for camera settings, lighting, posing, or simply bouncing a concept off someone who's been at it a while.
Barbora runs BonBon Production — modeling agency, event production, media. She's the one curating the models, booking the locations, keeping the schedule on the rails, and making sure the weekend actually feels like a fairy tale rather than a logistics drill.
This is where you'll see the photographers joining the weekend — their style, what they want to create, where to follow their work. Connect, message each other, plan a couple of shots together before we even arrive.
Profiles appear here as photographers sign up and choose to share their ideas publicly. Check back in a few days — or be the first to register.
