You are free to choose from different daily photography tasks.
On each workshop day, we will meet, depending on our day’s theme, either early in the morning or at noon and take on a photographic assignment in the context of the city and its culture and history. Based on the individual photographer’s concept, which we will tailor to each participant during the workshop. You are free to choose from different daily photography tasks to continue the workshop day in the group, alone or with fellow photographers. In the evening or the next day we will review your photographic work before we prepare for our next assignment.
