About The Event
Hey there, photography enthusiast! Get ready because NewbornFest is back in Estonia for its second run! After a fabulous kick-off last year, we're all set to make this year's fest even more exciting. It's not just a festival; it's a playground for those who love to capture the sweet beginnings of life through their lenses.
Here's what's brewing: We've got a bunch of cool speakers lined up just for you! From Spain, we have Agustin Camino Beta who's all about capturing pure, simple moments with a rustic touch. Aleksandra Zaitseva from Estonia is joining us too, bringing her minimalist magic that speaks volumes. Anna Kireeva from the UK will share her journey from a marketing exec to a pro at capturing authentic motherhood moments.
But that's not all! Julia Andrianov, another gem from Estonia, will talk about making any home the perfect backdrop for heartwarming family portraits. Małgorzata Sulewska-Czarnecka from Poland is here to blend the art of painting and photography into one. From Latvia, Marina Kvitko will share her knack for creating a photography business that clicks.
We've also got Marta Ponsko from Poland, the queen of colorful neon maternity sessions, ready to light up the stage. Natasha Ince from the UK is here to empower you through stunning maternity and motherhood photography. And let's not forget Paola Aldewliy from Saudi Arabia, who's been a pioneer in newborn photography across the Middle East.
Just like last year, NewbornFest 2024 is packed with workshops to sharpen your skills, sessions to inspire your style, and tips to grow your photography biz. It's the perfect spot to meet fellow photographers, learn from the best, and of course, have a ton of fun!
So, grab your tickets, mark the dates - 10 and 11 of May 2024, and gear up for a festival that's all about celebrating the joy of photography. NewbornFest 2024 is where your camera meets endless inspiration. Can't wait to see you there!
