Hamburg Street Portraits Workshop

Hamburg Street Portraits Workshop

I will show you simple but effective posing tricks so that anyone can learn how to look their best in pictures, regardless whether standing up, sitting, as a couple or in a Group. I will explain body posture, balance, as well as answer the classic "what do I do with my hands?" With the right guide and atmosphere, posing for streetshots can be incredibily fun.

For those intereseted I am also showing how to achieve the perfect camera settings, depending on lighting, decorum and activity.

The shooting at each location takes about 15 to 20 minutes after which we will move on to the next spot on the tour. This ensures cool-off periods in-between shoots and gives us the chance to talk a bit about the city, it's architecture, culture and history.

Each guest receives 20 edited pictures within a maximum of 7 calendar days, as a download link.

Itinerary

The Tour is a portrait-photoshoot covering some of the city’s great landmarks: Landungsbrücken, St Nikolai Memorial Church, Rathaus City Hall and the Speicherstadt.

Along the way I will explain posing, whether as singles, couples or groups. You do not have to bring your own camera on the tour. As we walk, I will share my experiences of the city and I will be taking your portraits, whether as a single, couple or group.

We will get to know each others a bit and after making the introductions we'll jump right in with some shots in front of the CityHall after which we will proceed towards the Nikolai Church Memorial (one of Hamburg's five old churches; unlike the others this one was not rebuilt following WW2 and was kept as a Memorial of the costs and destruction of war) and then further on to the UNESCO World Heritage Site Speicherstadt. This used to be the storage area for the cargo ships but nowadays is full of canals, bridges, restaurants and bars. Along the way we will stop at the Nikolaifleet - the location of Hamburg's very first harbour, in the XII century. The tour will end at the Landungsbrücken, looking down the waterfront of the Hamburg Harbour.
