CAMERA EQUIPMENT

• Camera
  Bringing your own camera will help you understand and practice the subjects discussed during this crash course. However, if you yet have to buy a camera, everything you’ll learn during this course will apply to most camera models out there. We can even discuss which camera may suit you best. Note that I do not sell cameras and that I am not affiliated with any shops that do.

• Lenses
  If you own multiple lenses, make sure to bring them with you.

• Other equipment
  Make sure to bring a memory card and a spare battery for your camera. If you own a tripod and/or filters, you should bring them too.

• Manual for your camera

CLOTHES

Since most of this course will take place outside, please dress appropriately depending on the weather conditions. You should also wear good hiking shoes. In case of cold weather don't forget your gloves.

Location

This photography crash course takes place in my local area in Steinfort in western Luxembourg. Improving my skill at local photography has become increasingly important to my work for the past couple of years. I’ll show you around some of my favourite locations in the area, hiking through fields and forests, giving you practical examples to accompany the theory taught during this class. By offering this type of local workshop, I can keep costs down, making this crash course my most affordable workshop option yet!

Steinfort can be easily reached either by bus or by train (for free!) from Luxembourg City. The meeting point for the crash course is right in front of the local commune (see map).

If you’d like to explore other regions of Luxembourg, such as the Mullerthal or Luxembourg City, please book a half or full-day 1-to-1 Photography Workshop instead.
