monthly practice on a professional shoot[Frame Lab]
Frame Lab is monthly practice on a professional shoot. No lectures and no theory: every month brings a new task. Alena works with each child one-on-one right on set: she sets the pose, catches the emotion and teaches them to hear the photographer for that exact task.

Not an imitation.
A real shoot.
We work on both sides of the set
As LÁ Production we shoot for brands. As a school and an agency we prepare kids for those shoots. So we know the requirements from the inside, and we set exactly the same ones at Frame Lab.
The same conditions, not «close to real»
The same team, the same light and set, styling, brief and demands on the frame as on a brand shoot. The only difference: here Alena has time to work with every child one-on-one.
Every month a new task
Each Frame Lab trains a different set of skills. Over a year a child goes through many working formats and builds a varied portfolio, not ten copies of one look.
PROPS
Working with props
Holding, playing with and showing an object so it looks natural in the frame.
PAIR
Shooting in a pair
Contact, reaction and timing with a partner in one frame.
GROUP
Group shoots
Working in a group: space, interaction and staying in the frame together.
SPORT
Sport posing
Movement, dynamics and poses that hold up in the frame.
CAMPAIGN
Campaign
A brief exactly as on a brand shoot: looks, set and a clear task.
TESTS
Model tests
Clean, current material casting directors and agencies ask for.
STREET
City streets
When it gets warm we take the practice outside: light, crowds and real locations.
How a Frame Lab day works
We don't shoot by the clock. We shoot until the result, and our students reach it faster and faster: they understand the task and what is expected of them.
- 01
Theme and references in advance
We announce the theme early and send references for the looks and the mood of the set.
- 02
Groups of up to 12 kids
Booking closes when a group of up to 12 kids a day is full. There can be several groups in a month.
- 03
Hair and makeup
Every child gets hair and makeup on set before stepping in front of the camera. It is included in the price.
- 04
One-on-one on set
Alena works with each child individually: the pose, the emotion, the task of the month.
- 05
Every good frame
You get every good frame. How many depends on the child's experience, and our students miss less from shoot to shoot.
A year of practice
Our kids really level up over a year. Each month brings a new format, a new kind of experience on set and new material for the portfolio. By the time a brief comes from a brand, a child has already done a portrait story, a group shoot and a campaign.
Talents aren't born. They're grown.

No. Frame Lab is open to every child as a separate format. School students on the “School + shoot” plan have it included every month.
How many frames will we get?+
Every good frame from the practice. Some kids get a hundred, some fewer than ten: it depends on experience and preparation. With every shoot our students miss less.
When do we learn the theme?+
In advance. We announce the theme and send references for the looks and the set, so you can prepare.
How long does the shoot take?+
We don't shoot by the clock, we shoot until the result. A group is up to 12 kids a day, and there can be several groups in a month.
Why is the price “from”?+
Some themes need extra set design, props or materials. We always confirm the final price when we announce the theme, before you book.
