Learn to See and Retouch Like Anthon

A private session on how Anthon photographs — documentary, fine art, editorial, and portrait — and how he retouches every image afterward. Built around your work, not a fixed class.

Understand why an image works before you shoot it, and how to finish it once you have it.

What this session covers

The thinking behind the image, before and after the shutter.

There's no set curriculum or calendar. Send a request describing what you're working on — a body of work, a shoot you're planning, or a folder of images you're not sure how to finish — and Anthon replies with a suggested format and next steps.

How I Photograph

The thinking behind the image before the shutter ever clicks — how Anthon chooses light, direction, and moment across documentary, fine art, editorial, and portrait work, and how that shifts depending on the story being told.

  • Reading a scene: light, timing, and when to wait versus when to shoot
  • Directing subjects for documentary work versus posed portrait and editorial work
  • Building a visual story across a full shoot, not just a single frame

How I Retouch

Anthon's real retouching workflow, from raw selection to final export, applied to your own images so you see the process behind the result — not just the finished frame.

  • Selecting and grading from raw: what stays, what goes, and why
  • Color and skin work that holds up without losing realism
  • Building a consistent, repeatable finishing style across a shoot
