Street Photography Course in Brussels
Stop hiding your camera. Learn to see the extraordinary in the ordinary streets of Brussels—and exhibit your work in a real photo show.
My street photography workshop series offers a dynamic and immersive experience during several month of training. The series ends with a Sharing Evening of your work at GC Elzenhof in Ixelles ( Projection and/or Exhibition).
Street photography isn’t just a walk — it’s theory, tactics, ethics and storytelling. It deserves months of practice to master.
