LOCATION

Luxembourg City is one of Europe's best kept secrets. The capital of the only Grand-Duchy in the World lies at the crossing of the Alzette and Petrusse rivers. The deep valleys on which the city was built seamlessly blend nature, ancient fortresses and traditional European architecture. Anybody travelling to Europe should not miss out on seeing this marvel of a city, coined the Gibraltar of the North.

Time and duration

The workshop takes place in the early evening and includes between 4 to 5 hours of on-location shooting.
Once you have reserved a spot for the workshop, the exact time and meeting location will be communicated to you by e-mail a few days before the workshop.

Transportation

While we cannot offer you official transportation to the workshop locations since this would not be covered by our insurance, we do encourage car-sharing. Once the workshop is fully booked and the date approaches, we put all workshop participants in contact with each other so that car-sharing opportunities can be arranged.

Hiking

There is a fair amount of hiking planned in order to reach some of the most photogenic locations. This is why it is important that you wear comfortable shoes and dress accordingly to the weather conditions.

Weather

The weather plays a very important role in creating great pictures and while we will do our very best to ensure that you go home with something to show for, we cannot guarantee that we will have the ideal conditions for the workshop. Sun, rain, snow or mist can all be interesting weather conditions for this workshop, so we will only postpone or cancel the workshop in case of extreme weather conditions. The main goal of this workshop is to teach you our techniques so that you can apply them in the future as well.
