Thank you very much for the opportunity to participate in the workshop. I have been looking for horse photography workshops for a long time. It was an immense amount of knowledge, everything explained in detail, and as a result, my photos have gained the WOW effect! If anyone is wondering if it’s worth it, I answer YES! I highly recommend it and I can’t wait for the next ones 🙂

I am pleasantly surprised by the content of the book. The biggest plus is that the topics are illustrated with screenshots, which really facilitate working with editing programs and allow for maximizing their potential to the fullest extent.

The complement to the workshops is a book that systematizes knowledge and organizes topics. The issues are described very clearly, easy to follow step by step. Everything what’s the best for equine photographers. The only position of this kind on the market!

I highly recommend one-on-one workshops with Jessica! The knowledge is shared in a very accessible way and in a great atmosphere.
Everything is professionally prepared – the horses, the riders, and of course, Jessica herself.
If you’re looking for a workshop where you’ll gain valuable knowledge in a professional yet friendly setting, I wholeheartedly recommend Jessi!

Fantastic, professionally conducted workshops, with a great location and model 😉 I learned how to improve framing, what to focus on when positioning the model in the space, and how to use light effectively. The photo editing part was absolutely amazing!

I participated in a course where we edited photos, including removing unwanted elements and creating a black background. I highly recommend it – lots of valuable knowledge gained and plenty of notes taken, which I often refer back to.

I truly recommend portfoliodays organized by Jessica. So far, I’ve only had the chance to participate in one – on the desert – but it definitely won’t be my last.
The choice of models for the day was a solid 10/10. Both the girls and the horses exceeded my expectations, making it hard to pick the best shots.
The entire photoshoot took place in a relaxed atmosphere, allowing input from other participants and ensuring breaks for the horses. The location itself gave me the opportunity to capture shots I don’t get to take every day.
I encourage anyone who’s still undecided – you’ll definitely come back with unforgettable memories!

I recently returned from a photoshoot in Lebanon with Jessica and I’m already missing Lebanon!
I’d been a little apprehensive staying in Beirut but once I arrived any worry I had disappeared.
I wanted to fully experience Lebanon and Jessica and her partner Chris (Lebanese) were great as sharing the Lebanese culture. the people are so warm, relaxed and open.
We were a small group of photographers which I always prefer. We shot daily visiting the beach, mountains and even a venue above the clouds! One stable we were planned to use had to quarantine but Jessica and Chris worked hard to find replacements models.
Our equine models were mainly Arabian stallions – I couldn’t believe how chilled out these Lebanese horses were on each shoot. I felt comfortable suggesting poses and backdrops on each of our shots and have come home with some lovely images that remind me of the warmth I experienced; both people, culture and climate
I am keen to return!!!

Without Jessica I probably never would have travelled to Lebanon, especially not to shoot horses. She made this wonderful trip possible.
Unique locations, beautiful horses, amazing local food, warm sun, what else does one even need?
She takes great interest in everything starting from models and locations to us participants having good time and being able to shoot stunning pictures.
I have participated in Jessica’s photo tour in Poland before as well and can absolutely recommend!

In 2020 a long awaited photo tour in Poland with Jessica took place and I was one of the lucky participants.
So how was it? It was very intense and it was all about photography and discovering different corners of Poland. We had at least 2 shootings every day, some days even 3 and were on the road all day – and I loved every minute of it.
The plan was full, locations – diverse and models – stunning! Forests, flower fields, mountains, sand dunes, castle ruins… Sunrise or sunset, sunrays and reflections or moody and foggy… And a different horse model in every location – from Arabians, polish warmbloods, Irish cob to Friesians and PRE… Simply a dream come true for every equine photographer.
Even if the plans changed a bit Jessica was always able to manage an alternative option, so we lost no photo opportunities.
During the whole tour we had a big comfy van which provided more than enough space for all of us to travel and we stayed every night in a different, always very nice hotel.
I came back after 4 intensive days tired but so happy – with 6 thousand various photos and fantastic memories.
So if you are looking for a way to expand your portfolio, wish to explore new places and you are not afraid of skipping few hours of sleep for the best shots – this is definitely a tour for you!
I can simply say that it was one of the highlights of the year and one of my favorite photo experiences and I am grateful for Jessica for organizing such a cool trip.

I was a complete beginner when I attended a one-on-one workshop with Jessica. In just two intensive days, I learned more than I had in an entire year. Every part of the workshop was well-organized and perfectly planned – pure professionalism.
Beyond the knowledge, I also received incredible support from Jessy. Thanks to what I learned, I’ve already started earning as a photographer – that’s the best recommendation I can give.
For me, she’s simply the best! Highly recommend!

A very positive surprise with the one-on-one workshop – though at first, I was a bit terrified: only manual mode??
An immense amount of practical knowledge, delivered in a clear and accessible way, both in terms of photography itself and using editing software.
For anyone passionate about photography, it’s an absolute goldmine of knowledge!
