Remark: Some people told us that parts of the website are not visible when browsing in China. This is probably due to the fact that WordPress is partly ‘ banned’ in China. The problems seems to be the photo’s on this website. All textual info is displayed well. Using a VPN is probably a solution! Ask for information in case you cannot find what you are looking for.

China, land of special cultures, the new wealth and the relative insensitivity for the global crisis. It it also a country with many photographic highlights. You only have to know where to find these spots and, equally important, be able to capture them. On this website we give a description of the workshops that we organize in both the capital city Beijing as wel as the rural areas of the southern Yangshuo. Two worlds apart but both are equally fascinating.
All workshops are based on the ‘learning-while-doing’ principle. Tips, tricks, discussions and, of course, we do a lot of photography. The workshops are open for all levels, no matter if you are a beginner or a novice photographer.
The choice for Beijing and Yangshuo has to do with the knowledge that we have about these cities. We know the right spots, the history and the people. The cities are completely different and offer many unique opportunities for the photographer.
