Two days of street photography along in Paris, working through the Latin Quarter and along the Seine\.
Join me for a small\-group workshop in one of the world’s most rewarding walking cities for street photography\. Over two focused days, we will work with light, timing, observation, and storytelling in the streets of Paris — moving through side streets, river light, café scenes, and quiet details that invite a slower and more deliberate way of seeing\.

This workshop is designed to help you sharpen your eye, strengthen your compositions, and build more confidence with every frame\. Whether you are newer to street photography or already experienced, the teaching is adapted to your level and goals\.

Two days of street photography in Berlin, working through the evolving neighbourhoods, wide streets, quiet corners, and layered atmosphere of the city\.
\<div\>

Join me for a small\-group workshop in one of Europe’s most visually diverse capitals for street photography\.

Berlin offers contrast, texture, movement, solitude, architecture, history, and an ever\-changing rhythm that makes the city ideal for observation and visual storytelling\.

Over two focused days, we will work with light, timing, composition, and awareness in the streets of Berlin — learning how to simplify scenes, recognise stronger moments, and build more confident photographs with intention\.

This workshop is about seeing more clearly\. We will explore how colour, light, shadows, backgrounds, and small visual relationships influence the strength of a photograph, whether the final image is in colour or black and white\.
\<div\>

The goal is to simplify the process, become more aware of the whole frame, and make photographs that feel intentional, personal, and alive\.
