Advanced Digital Photography Workshop

About the Workshop

space

The workshop takes place in the beautiful and historic city of Leiden. We will take you to different locations where we will explain different aspects of photography.

We will also give you with cultural and historical information concerning the city.

Embrace the digital experience

The course is aimed at ambitious photographers with a number of years experience and general familiarity with the digital concept, who would now like to build on this experience, and take their ability and creativity to a whole new level.

The course is for small groups of no more than 4 people. This enables us to give individual tuition and advice. Your questions during the course are always welcome.

Bad weather

space

The weather in the Netherlands can be unpredictable, especially in Autumn and Winter.

But it seldom rains the for whole day. If the rain is torrential the workshop will be cancelled, but if it is not heavy the tour will go on regardless.

Photographers are hardy folks, and stormy skies and wet pavements present some of the most exciting photo opportunities!
