COPENHAGEN 2 day workshop – July 3-4, 2027

What to expect

The workshop takes place entirely on location and is built around photographing in different parts of Copenhagen, each with its own rhythm, light, and visual character.

Across the two days, we will work with:

• simple camera setup for faster and more consistent files
• light, composition, and timing in streets, on bridges, and along the harbour
• people and places in both calm and busy urban situations
• layering, gesture, and working the scene
• building confidence and consistency in your street photography

Day 1 begins at Torvehallerne, where we start with coffee, introductions, camera setup, and a short briefing before heading into the city. From there, we work through Nørrebro and toward the lakes, focusing on rhythm, flow, layers, bicycles, silhouettes, and the mix of people, movement, and public space that defines Copenhagen in summer.

We will also work with details and story fragments in and around Red Square, Black Market, and Green Park, before continuing into side streets or canal areas where we can practise sequencing and learning how to stay with a scene longer.

Day 2 shifts toward the harbour and waterfront light. We begin at Café Mormors and continue through Nyhavn, Christianshavn, and toward Refshaleøen. Here we will work with reflections, leading lines, quieter canal scenes, and a more open visual structure shaped by water, bridges, and industrial surroundings.

Refshaleøen and Reffen offer a different pace again, with food stalls, movement, texture, and opportunities to work with both candid observation and more layered people-and-place photographs. We close the day with a final on-the-street review so the lessons become practical and easier to carry forward.

Typical workshop hours are:

Day 1: 10:00–17:00 Day 2: 10:00–15:00

Small group format

This is a small-group workshop, allowing time for personal feedback, individual guidance, and a more focused pace throughout both days.

Before the workshop, you will receive a short questionnaire about your experience, goals, camera, and lenses, so the teaching can be tailored more closely to you.

All camera brands and formats are welcome.

What is included

Two full days of hands-on coaching in the streets of Copenhagen. End-of-day micro-reviews on both days. An optional group Zoom session a few weeks later for editing and sequencing feedback.

Travel, accommodation, and meals are not included.
