The Leica M is my favourite camera. Bring yours, whatever brand you prefer, and I will teach you to be a better and more confident photographer.
Walk with me
I will guide you through the day. I will help you with camera settings, and how to approach motives. I will show you how to approach people in the street and find your style of photography.
Photo workshops
Selected cities of interest are selected for a unique experience. Paris, Rome, Berlin, Copenhagen and other cities will give not just a stay of interest but also a great photo opportunity.
We find places with good light and you can practise street photography and learn to handle your camera. We search for the moment and we talk camera gear.
All photo workshops are meant to be relaxed and educational. The aim is to inspire and make you feel more empowered and inspired to take your camera with you and use it.

A fleeting second
Captured and frozen
It shifts our thoughts
It tells a story
