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.

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!

Im Fotoworkshop habe ich viel gelernt. Es war sehr spannend und unterhaltsam. Es müsste weitergehen um es zu vertiefen.

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.

The Blue Hour tour was an amazing experience. Its a class that isn’t so much about perfect photography as much as about learning the techniques, artistic styles and creative thinking to take your photography to a better level. Also did I mention that its fun and Noga (the teacher) is very cool!

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!

Die Blaue Stunde-Tour hat vor allem mal sehr viel Spaß gemacht. Ich habe eine Menge gelernt im Umgang mit dem vorhandenem Licht und auch ein paar witzige Ideen zum kreativen Einsatz der Kamera.

I just wanted to say, your course really added SO much value to my life and I’m forever grateful. I use the things I learned all the time and these days I’m making my own artwork for my musical releases. And because of what you taught me I just love photography more and more.

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!
