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!

The school was exactly what I was looking for. I had two mornings of private lessons and learned so much. Bettina was the perfect teacher and knew exactly how to get the most out of the time. She was also so friendly and had a lot of tips on both photography and Berlin! Would thoroughly recommend for any level of expertise!

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!

Highly recommended course, it was so much fun with Mara. She explained everything in detail and very comprehensible. In all, very inspiring and already looking forward to come back for advanced sessions.

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.

Eran is a great photography teacher; with him I learned and understand everything I didn’t before, not even in my country and language. Your classes gave me a good knowledge of my camera and technique, that allowed me to take others courses and improve my photography. I want it to be more than a hobby now.

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!

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! 😉

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.
