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!

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.

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!

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.

It was fantastic – I learned a lot in a great environment with a knowledgeable, fun and patient teacher.

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…

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

I completed the 7-month masterclass at the Berlin School of Photography and it was a great success for me. I started without much prior knowledge, having previously only taken a one-day smartphone photography course (also at the BSoP). That had already motivated me a lot! From there it really took off: starting with the technical basics, artistic fine-tuning and experimental photography, I learned more than I had in a long time. Our trainers were equally committed, knowledgeable and highly motivated, so that this motivation also rubbed off on us participants. And there was a great atmosphere in the group of participants, a lot of mutual exchange and support, just great. Definitely a full 5 out of 5 points, big recommendation!!

I recently completed the 7-month photo coaching and am still impressed and positively influenced by the enriching time in every facet.I learned a lot about photography during this time and am very grateful for this experience.The patience that was shown to answer my questions, the many inspirations and different perspectives made the coaching very valuable for me.Over time, a great community has formed between the coaches and coachees, who have always supported each other.I found it very exciting and beneficial that the content of the coaching was conveyed by different coaches.The big highlight was our final photo project entitled “Transformation”, which we were able to exhibit in Field Five.I don't want to miss the time.Many thanks to you Bettina, Nina, Rocio, Alberto and my 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.
