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

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.

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.

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!

Es war super! Individuell abgestimmt, tolle Impulse, sehr viel gelernt.

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!

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.

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.

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