Workshop Impressions
Testimonials
“This workshop not only helped me focus on how to more accurately express my creative vision through street photography, but it also provided an opportunity to meet some great street photographers and new friends in my city. I would 100% recommend this workshop — it was a fantastic experience.”
"Thank you so much to Samuel and Ulysses. It was a great experience. We spent time talking before shooting and it really helped me focus during our shooting time. Everyone was super helpful and nice. After we did our shooting project they did a great constructive criticism session with our photos. It helped me rethink how I'd normally shoot. I recommend their workshops to everyone interested in photography. Hope to take another one in the future!"
“The workshop helped me open up a new door of possibilities to use to my advantage when going out shoot the street. Highly recommend this workshop to anyone that wants to get serious with street photography”
"I learned a lot from Lintaro and Ulysses. I’m happy that some street photographers said my photos are getting better after the workshop. Thank you!"
"Thank you for the workshop. I had fun and learned a lot about photography."
"The Making Sense of Chaos workshop helped me understand that chaos in the street can be a good thing if you know what you are looking for.
In the workshop I was able to meet other photographers who share the same passion, and it is a great way of connecting to the photography community, where you learn from one another, and inspire one another. Samuel and Ulysses shared tips and advice that helped me build on the things I didn’t know I was capable of doing, they guided me and gave constructive criticism when they see something you can improve on. Both of them shared their objective insights and they never held back. They gave both practical and technical tips which made sense, as we tried to apply them to our workflow and shooting style.
I highly recommend joining their future workshops!"
Workshop FAQ
Can you come to my city and do a workshop?
I do workshops world wide but in order to make any workshop happen overseas, I need to be able to cover the cost of traveling. That means there is always a minimum required amount of participants
that need to sign up for the workshop to happen. If there is no workshop planned in your city, you can write me a mail (link below) and I will put you on a list of potential workshop
locations and if enough people are interested I will inform you and create a workshop in your city.
How do I sign up? And what happens after that?
You sign up by registering as a new client on my shop page (automatically happens during the payment process).
Afterwards you will be able to enter my client area where you can select a date for the workshop or zoom call. I will then message you in the client area where we can chat about the next
steps and final date.
If I cancel, do I get a refund?
Yes, you get a full refund if you cancel the workshop two weeks before the workshop date. 50% within two weeks until the workshop date. Workshop dates can be postponed until two weeks
before the workshop date.
Zoom Consultations can be canceled anytime with full refund.
Will I get a proper invoice?
Yes. You will be able to download an invoice after the payment.
Can I bring a friend?
You can bring a friend to my street photography experience workshops (you can split the cost with your friend).
If you want to bring more than one friend, contact me via mail and I will create an individuel Workshop for your group.
Do I need a specific camera?
Yes! You are only allowed to bring a Leica Camera! Just kidding ;-)
My workshops focus more on developing a good eye and a sensibility for photographing people on the street. Any camera can be used. However, it is recommended that you bring a camera that you feel
comfortable with and has the option to be operated manually (to some extent).
Can I book you for anything?
I might dance on your parties if you pay enough :-) Jokes aside, you can book me for anything that I can help you with. My main focus is on street photography, filmmaking, editing, branding &
social media. For everything else, I better not waste your time and money.
Isn't it illegal to photograph in Germany?
Yes and no. You are allowed to take photographs in public and you don't need permission to photograph. We do however have strict privacy laws that enables private citizen to prohibit you
from taking photographs if they don't want to be photographed. This is however in contradiction with the KUG which is a law protecting the rights to do art (street photography is recognized
as an art form). If you need legal advice go to a German lawyer and don't take legal advice from me. There has never been a case where a street photographer got into trouble for doing
street photography in Germany. The only time a case went to court came out in favour for the photographer. As long as you do it respectfully and don't take advantage of a bad situation or
make somebody look intentionally bad, you should be fine. A great summary of the legal situation in Germany can be seen here (German site).
