Very inspiring, practical and thoughtful portrait workshop. A well built course towards better portrait photography, under the caring and expert teaching of Bettina, you might want to try for yourself! 😉

Der Workshop „The Big Five“ war grandios. Das Regenwetter hat dem tollen Verlauf des Workshops nicht geschadet. Im Gegenteil. Bettina hat mich zu Beginn so gut inspiriert, dass der eigene Blick von einer auf die andere Sekunde voellig veraendert wurde. Vielen Dank für den tollen Tag. Ein Tip an alle, die noch keinen Workshop bei der Berlin School of Photography absolviert haben: Anmelden und hingehen… Es lohnt sich! Ich fuer meinen Teil komme auf jedenfall wieder…

A fabulous course. Bettina’s patient and practical approach really helped me put into practice the technical information I didn’t know how to apply before the course. As well as new techniques I learnt to look at a scene to decide on composition, focus and correct metering before taking the shot. What a fantastic way to explore and learn more about Berlin – a holiday where I didn’t feel like a tourist. I now have good practical advice to build on for the future.

I have done several tours in major cities around the world and I have to say the BSP tours (Big5 and Blue Hour) were my favourites. Bettina and Oliver really pushed us to look at things from a different perspective. It was a perfect mix of directing us to iconic sites and then pushing us to look at them from a different perspective. I know my way around a camera however, I really appreciated the time the trainers took to get to know me and being pushed out of my comfort zone! Thanks BSP-highly recommended.

Ich hatte drei lehrreiche Stunden im Rahmen der Big Five Tour mit Bettina. Wegen des Regens haben wir die Tour etwas abgewandelt und die vielen Tropfen gekonnt eingebaut. Die Tipps von Bettina konnte ich sofort umsetzen und ich bin sehr sehr zufrieden. Ich werde auf jeden Fall noch weitere Touren mitmachen. Vielen Dank Antje

I did a 5 (half) day intensive course with Bettina a couple of years ago. Not only it inspired me to push my photography to the next level, her insights and teachings are still very much part of my photography today. I enjoyed the balance between practice and theory and the feedback we photographers so much crave. I definitely recommend the BSF for beginners and the more advanced professionals. You won’t regret it, even better so, you will definitely enjoy it and learn a great deal about yourself as a photographer.

Really good course. Didn’t know anything about photography prior to coming and the instructor made me feel comfortable and the experience enjoyable – Thank you!

Great experience with the Berlin School of Photography. I did 3 courses with Bettina: The last GDR, Blue Hour and Street Art Tour. Very relaxed approach to each student during theoretical and great atmosphere during the practical part of the course. You learn many photographic skills to achieve better compositions/photographs. You get to learn about photography and you get to know and see certain parts of Berlin that you normally don’t see as a tourist(like me from Croatia) I would love to do some other courses as well. I recommend.

I have been attending classes with BSOP since Feb 2016 and can say that its worth every Euro put in. The hands on approach is enriching in that you actually put into practice what the theory learnt earlier in class session. The modules are rich in content and the assignments are challenging taking you further in your photographic journey.

Habe den Portraitworkshop besucht und bin restlos begeistert. Vielen Dank für diese großartige Erfahrung. Bettina versteht es super einen an dieses Thema heranzuführen und ich habe bei mir wirkliche Fortschritte schon während des Kurses bemerkt. Der Kurs bringt einem soviel Inspiration, so daß ich das Thema Portraitfotografie sicher weiterverfolgen werde. Macht weiter so!
