Hybrid Sessions:
Street Photography and Sketching
We use the pen to slow the eye—mapping the city's structure to find the 'bones' of a composition before the camera ever leaves the bag.
This is a hybrid workflow designed for the creator who wants to move past the immediate and into the intentional. Working on location, you will alternate between street photography and sketching to sharpen your perception of Amsterdam’s character. While photography trains timing and framing, sketching reveals the deeper proportions and spatial relationships of the street. Together, these disciplines strengthen your visual decisions—giving you confidence in what you capture, both on paper and through the lens.
Narrative Mastery | 4 Hours
Exploring Rhythm, Light, and Form
A deep-dive mentorship that functions as a conversation between practitioners. We alternate shooting and sketching in varied urban environments, using the extended time to refine your specific creative trajectory and troubleshoot technical hurdles with your chosen system.
The Experience:
We alternate shooting and sketching in varied urban environments. Photography emphasizes timing, framing, and light; sketching reveals proportion, perspective, and structural relationships. Extended time allows you to see how sketches and photos inform one another, deepening your understanding of visual rhythm and form.
Result:
A thorough, practiced visual approach that connects seeing, drawing, and photographing into a coherent method. You’ll finish with a richer set of sketches and photographs, and a heightened awareness of urban composition.
Investment: €495 for a private session of 1–4 participants
Focus Intensive | 90 Minutes
The Hidden Geometry of the City
A focused session designed to sharpen your eye through both photography and sketching. Alternating between camera and sketchbook, we look for patterns, gestures, and spatial relationships that are often overlooked. This is an invitation to slow down, observe more deeply, and translate what you see into confident visual choices.
The Experience:
We move through Amsterdam’s streets, switching between photographing and sketching. Photography trains timing and framing; sketching clarifies proportion, structure, and spatial relationships. Together, they help you see the city differently, strengthening your compositional decisions. All experience levels welcome, from beginners to seasoned photographers and sketchers.
Result:
A more precise, confident visual practice that connects observation, photography, and drawing into a cohesive workflow. You’ll leave with both sketches and photographs that reflect your sharpened eye.
Investment: €250 for a private session of 1–4 participants
Materials: All professional sketching materials are provided, ensuring you can focus entirely on the rhythm of the city. No dedicated camera is required—a smartphone is a sufficient, and often ideal, tool for capturing the immediate geometries we seek. This session is designed to sharpen your vision, regardless of your experience level with a pen or your choice of lens.
