„One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.“
Willkommen
Hier beginnt deine Reise in die Schule des Sehens.
Erlebe eine tiefe Veränderung in deiner Wahrnehmung durch die 100 Steps.
Art of Seeing - 100 Steps
Sehen ist mehr als ein Blick – es ist eine Haltung. Es entscheidet, ob du durch eine Stadt eilst oder sie entdeckst, ob du an einer Szene vorbeigehst oder in ihr ankommst. Detour Havana führt dich in 100 Schritten dorthin, wo Sehen zu einer bewussten, lebendigen Erfahrung wird.
Von der Kameratechnik bis zur Philosophie des Sehens – hier geht es nicht nur um Fotografie, sondern um die Kunst, die Welt mit offenen Augen zu erleben. Jeder Schritt verändert deine Wahrnehmung, schärft deinen Blick und öffnet neue Perspektiven.
Was Detour Havana besonders macht
Jedes Bild beginnt nicht mit der Kamera, sondern mit deinem Blick. Detour Havana verbindet Sehen, Denken und Gestalten zu einem neuen Zugang zur Fotografie.
- Technik als Werkzeug – Lerne, die Kamera intuitiv zu beherrschen, ohne das Sehen zu verlieren.
- Wahrnehmung als Prozess – Erfahre, wie Achtsamkeit den Blick vertieft und Bilder lebendiger macht.
- Philosophie des Sehens – Hinterfrage, was du siehst – und warum du es so siehst.
Fotografie ist kein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, sondern ein Dialog mit ihr. Detour Havana gibt dir 100 Impulse, diesen Dialog auf eine neue Weise zu führen.

Why choose your 'Detour' Havana?
Havana is more than a destination—it’s a living tapestry of color, culture, and spontaneous human connection. When you immerse yourself in its vibrant streets, you step into a world that naturally aligns with the spirit of our „100 Steps“ Program. Each step invites you to engage more mindfully with your surroundings, fostering both personal growth and a deeper understanding of others.
Choosing our masterclass in Havana means embracing a living, breathing classroom of culture, color, and spontaneous encounters. In this city, every moment offers a chance to expand your perspective—on both the world around you and the inner landscape of your own mind. Through the synergy of Havana’s vibrant streets and our 100 Steps Program, you’ll cultivate deeper awareness, empathy, and creative expression. Ultimately, it’s not just about discovering the soul of Havana; it’s about discovering a richer, more profoundly connected version of yourself.
Photography here transcends mere technique. By working through the 100 steps, you’ll learn to be fully present, not only behind the camera but also in each interaction with people and place. This deeper engagement brings fresh perspectives—both photographically and personally.
In Havana, every corner has its own pulse—music, architecture, the warmth of its people. Our masterclass harnesses these rhythms to sharpen your perception, encouraging you to fully absorb and capture each moment.
By taking the ‘detour’ through the lives of others, you expand your own sense of self. Havana’s welcoming community, with its genuine openness, offers the perfect environment to practice the art of compassionate seeing—allowing you to see the world (and yourself) with renewed clarity.
The camera becomes a tool for self-exploration. As you explore Havana’s winding alleys and vivid landscapes, each photograph reveals a part of your own inner journey—one of introspection, insight, and transformation.
As your photography mentor, I’ll be right by your side, guiding you every step of the way. Together, we’ll elevate your photography skills and explore valuable tips and techniques.

Mindful Seeing - 'Slow Photography'
Photography can be understood as a kind of mindfulness training for the senses. The point is to understand photography as a means of making us more serene and balanced.
The camera serves as a ’seeing aid‘ so to speak that can teach us to see more mindfully without a camera. The tactile experience of shooting with a camera that fits comfortably in your hand and becomes an extension of our photographic sense. It’s about forgetting time and rediscovering the world while looking through the camera viewfinder. The challenge to more fully consider shapes, sizes, perspectives, and angles of subjects before pressing the shutter button heightens our awareness.
Experiencing our environment intimately with the camera allows us to perceive things in a new and different way. Contemplative photography, is a form of meditation, as strolling around consciously with your camera, allows our world to become more detailed. Making photographic excursions without prejudice lead us to something we didn’t expect in advance.
Think of Photography as a kind of meditation that you can dive into, but will never reach the bottom. Your approach is much more important than the medium you use. Learn using your most valuable instrument: Your eyes.
„For me, the camera is a self teaching tool – you get to know yourself and the world.“
