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.

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…

Wir waren in unserer Foto Schulung zwischen 5 und 8 Teilnehmer(innen) und alle unterschiedlichen Kenntnisse wurden bedient. Alle haben sich gesteigert. Das ist eine großartige Leistung!

Natur Foto Erlebnis – Thorsten Böhling

I took the beginner’s workshop in English. Eran was a great teacher, clearly very knowledgeable. I learned so much about my camera, including the fundamentals of aperture, shutter speed and ISO. I would have liked to learn a little about composition, but I do understand it’s important to know the technical aspects of the camera first. I would definitely recommend this course — thank you so much!

Laura Depta

This is exactly the experience I needed. I wanted an experienced person who combines the skills of a photographer with the knowledge of Berlin’s street art and when best to photograph each site. Bettina checked all the boxes, and came up with great ideas to make the three hour private tour very interesting and productive. Bettina helped me rent a bike and we biked the streets of Berlin, seeing street art and a whole lot more. Bettina is a real human being with a passion for what she does. Highly recommended!

Nature Photo Workshop – Lucie Pol

My teacher Oliver was the best! He had very strong points of view on everything — from where I should position myself when taking street photography, to how I should hold my camera, to how I can take magical long exposure shots at night. Some students might find his style overbearing, but as an amateur photographer, I valued his tips and advice so much. I learned so much in 3 hours, and I hope to participate in another class in the future!

Photo Training – Jaco Naude

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!

Thomas Hartel

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!

Absolutely top and definitely recommended. I took the master class at the Berlin School of Photography. Here you will learn everything you need, from the basics to the different disciplines of photography, if you want to pursue the path of becoming a photographer. In eight months you will gain insights into still life, architecture, portrait and fashion photography and learn the basics for working with light and setups in the studio. Tasks on each subject area, presentations and picture discussions in the group deepen knowledge and ensure personal development. The atmosphere in the group was very appreciative. The teachers are very approachable and can be contacted at any time. For me, the master class was the best basis for applying to the Ostkreuzschule in order to continue my path.

Taking a photography course in the forest is not an everyday occurrence. In addition to good food, a very good breakfast and a small learning group, we had two companions (Bettina as a photographer, Johannes as a forest expert) who encouraged and supported us all around. After an evening with an introduction and check on our own cameras and background experiences, we were driven into the forest on Saturday and, after a detailed introduction, we had enough time to look for and find our individual path for photos. In the evening there was a campfire in the forest with food (game and vegetables). I developed a very unique feeling about the place, which continued for days, even after the weekend. The photo discussion on Sunday morning was an appreciation of our different perspectives and visual impressions of this forest. Well accompanied by Bettina, who discussed the pictures with us and made one or two suggestions. Angle of view, detail, exposure or perspective. For me, this is a special photography course that I would recommend to anyone who wants to experience the forest in a new way. Depending on the time of year, however, you should be prepared that it can be significantly colder than in the city.

Ich habe die 7-monatige Masterclass der Berlin School of Photography absolviert und es war für mich ein großer Erfolg. Ich habe ohne viel Vorkenntnisse angefangen, hatte zuvor lediglich einen eintägigen Smartphone-Fotografie Kursus belegt (auch bei der BSoP). Der hatte mich bereits sehr motiviert! Von da ging es richtig aufwärts: Angefangen bei den technischen Grundlagen über künstlerische Feingriffe und experimentelle Fotografie habe ich so viel gelernt wie lange nicht mehr. Unsere Ausbilder waren gleichermaßen engagiert wie fachkundig und hochmotiviert, so dass diese Motivation auch auf uns Teilnehmer überschlug. Und in der Gruppe der Teilnehmer herrschte eine Bombenstimmung, viel gegenseitiger Austausch und Hilfestellung, einfach großartig. Unbedingt volle 5 von 5 Punkten, große Empfehlung!!

Ich habe vor Kurzem das 7-monatige Fotocoaching absolviert und bin immer noch beeindruckt und positiv geprägt von der in jeder Facette bereichernden Zeit.
Ich habe in dieser Zeit eine Menge über Fotografie gelernt und bin sehr dankbar für diese Erfahrung.
Die Geduld, die aufgebracht wurde, meine Fragen zu beantworten, die vielen Inspirationen und unterschiedlichsten Perspektiven haben das Coaching für mich sehr wertvoll gemacht.
Es hat sich über die Zeit eine tolle Community zwischen den Coaches und Coachees gebildet, die sich auch untereinander immer unterstützt hat.
Ich fand es sehr spannend und förderlich, dass die Inhalte des Coachings von verschiedenen Coaches vermittelt wurden.
Das große Highlight war unser Fotoprojekt als Abschluss mit dem Titel "Transformation", welches wir im Feld Fünf ausstellen durften.

Ich möchte die Zeit nicht missen.
Lieben Dank an dich Bettina, Nina, Rocio, Alberto und meinen Coachees❣

I took the course for beginners and am super satisfied! I learned a lot about using the camera and was also able to get to know many beautiful corners of Berlin from inspiring perspectives. I can recommend the course with a clear conscience☺️

I had a new camera and barely knew how to use it. In one-on-one lessons with Bettina, I not only learned the technique, but also developed an unexpected enthusiasm for photography in a very short time and will definitely continue. Thank you for this quick and individual introduction with a good price-performance ratio.

I absolutely enjoyed my course at the BSoP after being a guest at the Vernissage of the Master class. I learned do much and my photographic skills improved massively. Thank you - next time again. I can recommend it strongly.

My impression after a beginners course: Far from a professional school of photography. A very old-fashioned presentation was shown for the introduction. There was no apparent concept to me all day...I didn't learn anything that I wouldn't have learned better from books or YouTube tutorials. The handout that was sent to us later was not very informative. Plus point: Bettina called me after this review to see what she could do better. Unfortunately, the conversation and their arguments did not convince me and I still cannot recommend the course.

I loved the "Nature Photo Experience" course! Was a super interesting setting for a the course and was a great way to get out of the city and see the forest in a new way.

I'm very satisfied. I really enjoyed the photography course for beginners levels 1 + 2! It was very professional and personal, with lots of practical exercises.
I can now finally use my camera properly and take the photos I've always dreamed of.
I will definitely take more photography courses and can only warmly recommend it to everyone

Wonderful street art tour with lots of tips from Bettina von Kameke about photography and street art in Berlin. Very interesting new parts of Berlin and very helpful.

My partner and I did the Level 1 course with Alberto and really enjoyed the course and our day! Alberto was a professional and thorough teacher while still leaving lots of time to ask questions and get creative. Would definitely recommend this course to anyone hoping to learn more about their camera and start to embark on their first steps to becoming a better photographer.

I highly recommend the Forest Photography course to anyone who wants to learn more about photography and be closer to nature. Bettina is very inspiring, full of interesting stories and a skilled photographer. She hosted us in an idyllic setting, thought us the most important photography techniques and guided us on a forest bathing to awaken our senses and creativity before we could wander off on our own to put all that we learned into practise. We concluded the day with soup and cake and reviewing the photos that we took that day. For me it was an amazing experience.
