What is this event?

Would you like to create unique, realistic images with authentic emotions?
Do you want to learn a new game?
Then get an insight into the method of playshooting – according to Swen Brandy’s method (aka CarnivorePic).

A playshooting goes beyond a normal photoshoot. Posing is not the focus here, but a game /scenario/mindset is created in which the play model and the play photographer or the kinky couple go together. The focus is not only on the camera, but on the shared experience, the interaction, which can be designed in a playful and challenging way.

The result is unique and authentic images that do not appear posed, but show real facets and emotions. The scenario also results in uniquely exciting game situations between the participants.

Rough topic structure:
– Introduction playshooting – theory part
– Framework conditions, consensus management, and creativity
– Treatment of individual areas of the Playshooting questionnaire from Carnivore-Pictures
– Cool Down & Aftercare
– The entree work: the beginning – forms of approach and zones of distance
– Warm up, partner check, and body movement
– Practice: set dramaturgy and creative training based on the 5 play levels
– Cam & Play: camera handling and tips
– Mind play & challenges
– Round of reflection

Including small live demonstrations by Swen Brandy & Saara Rei.

How can you reach us?

Our address is Bulevardul Theodor Pallady 287. You can find information on how to reach us here or here.

The area has many parking spaces, especially in the evening or after 6 pm. The metro station at “1 Decembrie 1918” is the closest to us and it’s only 8 minutes away, on foot.

Take the small elevator (it’s behind the large stairs on the ground floor) to the 5th floor, where you will see the sign for InFLUX. One more flight of stairs up, and you’re there. If mobility issues prevent you from climbing up a flight of stairs, you can take the large elevator, which will take you straight to our door, but that one is much slower.

Our phone number is +40723258105, and you can write to us on WhatsApp before the door-closing time.
