Laura

This workshop was such a dream. Zara is a true professional and ensured that everything - from the styling, to the makeup, to the location, to the models - was top quality and would provide us the foundation to capture some truly special content. We were given lots of time to experiment and shoot on our own terms, while learning from Zara along the way. I couldn't recommend this experience enough!

"This workshop was a dream"

Romea

Zara’s calm and relaxed manner of teaching made her so approachable for questions. Not only did she answer all of my questions but during the shooting time she gave us all enough space and time to try new things and shoot what we were wanting- she provided the perfect space to get creative! Watching someone who has perfected the art of film was amazing- I didn’t feel overwhelmed or intimidated as she was genuinely wanting to share her knowledge. Thank you so much Zara your a gem! X

"The atmosphere was really relaxed and I felt so comfortable in my group."

Kasia

I was so impressed with the first Create & SIP workshop. The level of detail, the styling, the concepts and the vendors involved were all amazing. Having this opportunity to practice techniques, to push creativity all while having a helping hand guide us was so great!

"It was a great opportunity to practice film, flash techniques & to push myself to get more creative! I really felt like I could push my own boundaries."
