Zurich by Day Street Photography Workshop 28.06.2025 - SOLD OUT

Street photography is all about being fully present and noticing those little moments that tell powerful stories. I can teach you to look differently and find these stories. I’ll share tips on creative composition and the best camera settings for street photography and striking ICM images. Most importantly, we’ll embrace the joy of transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary through the lenses of our cameras.

In this workshop, we’ll explore the urban heart of Zurich’s west side — starting at Escher Wyss Platz, surrounded by concrete and urban contrast, following the Limmat river toward the sleek lines and industrial charm of Puls 5. From there, we’ll wander into the wide-open space of Turbinenplatz — a great spot for capturing scale, symmetry and street moments. Our route then leads us up toward Hardbrücke and along the Viadukt, where striking architecture meets creative culture and ends at the Josefwiese.

What you’ll Learn

- Master how to use natural light and shadow to create striking black and white images

- Capture candid street moments with confidence

- Embrace ICM (Intentional Camera Movement), a creative technique that combines deliberate camera movement with a slow shutter speed to create abstract, painterly images

- Discover the timeless beauty of black and white street photography
