“I do think that many, even most photographers, can cut and paste and find something important, useful or inspiring for themselves in what Morten has to say. And I think portrait photographers and Leica M users might find special value
– Russel

“A truly positive experience.
I left feeling fully inspired, exactly as I had hoped. I wanted to move beyond simply documenting family, celebrations, and holidays and begin exploring photography as an art form.”
– Karsten

Not Sure You’re Good Enough?

You don’t have to be good enough before you join.

That’s why you join.

My workshops are designed to be welcoming, supportive, and free from competition. Whether you’ve been photographing for months or decades, curiosity matters far more than experience.

Come as you are. Bring your camera, your questions, and an open mind. Everything else can be learned.

Simplify Your Gear. Strengthen Your Eye.

Join me on location for hands-on street photography with personal guidance and real-time feedback. 

See the Photograph Before You Raise the Camera
Discover how to read light, simplify composition, anticipate moments, and create stronger frames with more intention.

Gain Confidence While You Work
With practical exercises and a clear field workflow, you will learn to slow down, observe more closely, and photograph with greater purpose, without overthinking every step.

Three-Day Workshops Take You Further
Optionally, you can add an extra day for specific workshops to enhance the learning experience with post-editing in Lightroom or Capture One.

We work with image selection, sequencing, personal style, and feedback on your final photographs. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this workshop suitable for beginners?

Yes. The workshop is designed for photographers of all experience levels. The principles apply regardless of your level.

What type of photography is covered?

The workshop explores how light, colour, black-and-.white, composition, and timing come together to create stronger photographs. Throughout the day, we work with a variety of subjects and visual approaches, including:

Using available light with greater intention
• Understanding how colour affects mood, balance, and storytelling
• Seeing in black-and-white through tone, contrast, shape, and atmosphere
• Working with composition, framing, layers, and negative space
• Understanding how your camera settings influence the final image
• Using one lens more deliberately to simplify your choices and strengthen your seeing
• Anticipating gestures, movement, and decisive moments
• Photographing people, details, architecture, reflections, and everyday scenes
 

What camera?

All camera brands are welcome. 

What lens should I bring?

You are welcome to bring any lens or lenses you would like to explore.

Can I shoot film?

Absolutely. Film photographers are very welcome. 

How much walking is involved?

Expect a moderate amount of walking throughout the day, primarily in city environments. Most participants find the pace comfortable, and we regularly pause to photograph, review images, and discuss what we’re seeing.

Will I receive feedback on my photographs?

Yes. Personal guidance and feedback are an important part of the workshop experience.

What should I bring?

Bring your camera, a fully charged battery, a memory card, comfortable walking shoes, and clothing suitable for the weather. 

How many participants are there?

Workshops are intentionally kept small at maximum 8-10 persons to allow for personal guidance, meaningful conversations, and individual feedback throughout the experience.

Photography is about seeing the world with intention.

Over years of photographing light, people, and everyday moments, I’ve developed a simple philosophy:
One Lens For All. Built on the same spirit as Leica’s Das Wesentliche / The essential focus on what matters.

"Paris is an ideal city for street photography, with picturesque streets and wonderful cafes. Morten made it easy for me to try new techniques, and under his guidance, explore more of my camera's functions. The course certainly left me with new street photography plans."
Steve
“A truly positive experience.
I left feeling fully inspired, exactly as I had hoped. I wanted to move beyond simply documenting family, celebrations, and holidays and begin exploring photography as an art form.
Everything took place in a warm, relaxed atmosphere, and Morten was incredibly generous in sharing his knowledge and experience.”
Karsten
"Yet another inspiring workshop on using light and colour in your photography, and Morten finds the perfect parts of Paris without a lot of other tourists. A perfect two days."
Tommy
"This workshop opened my eyes to aspects I had been overlooking in my photography, and it was worth every penny. Morten revealed some of light’s hidden secrets to us. Many thanks! "
Ferenc
"I've really enjoyed the workshop in Rome. We spent two pleasant days walking through the streets of Trastevere shooting candid photos and capturing fleeting moments. We observed scenes and how the natural light lit the subjects. Overal, it was a very nice experience, often taking me out of my comfort zone."
Stefan
"Topics such as… Limiting gear, which is to say severely limiting gear, as in one camera, one lens. The importance of beautiful light: finding it out there in reality and using it. Measuring light to get a good exposure. Handling the camera so that you control it towards the picture you want, rather than relying on or being locked into automatic settings.
There certainly are a lot of the newest and latest technology roads that people use and like that are way different from the above.
That said, I do think that many, even most photographers, can cut and paste and find something importantly useful or inspiring for themselves in what Morten has to say. And I think portrait photographers and Leica M users might find special value."
Russell
