Take your street photography to the next level
There are many street photography workshops in the Netherlands, but not all of them offer the same focus, quality and depth. Some workshops focus mainly on technique, while others emphasise observation. But if you really want to make progress-technically, creatively and in terms of content-then you want a workshop that goes further.
My workshop is specially designed for the passionate hobby photographer who wants to learn better street photography see. You will not only learn the basics, but also gain in-depth insights into composition, tension, storytelling and creativity. With a combination of theory, practice, immediate feedback and a solid dose of inspiration, I will make sure that you go out onto the streets with a new outlook after this workshop.
