Frequently asked questions
Do I need photography experience?
No. Complete beginners are welcome, but the workshop can also be adapted to enthusiastic and experienced photographers.
What kind of camera should I bring?
Bring the camera you normally use and would like to understand better. DSLR, mirrorless, bridge and compact cameras with adjustable settings are all suitable.
Can I bring another participant?
Yes. The workshop price includes one participant. You can add additional participants during online booking for €35 per person for the half-day workshop or €50 per person for the full-day workshop. The workshop can be adapted to different cameras and experience levels, although participants should be comfortable learning together as a group.
Can children join?
Yes. Children are welcome when accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. They should be interested in photography and able to understand and take part in the workshop activities. Every child is different, so there is no fixed minimum age. Please contact me before booking if you are unsure whether the workshop will be suitable.
Will I receive any workshop materials?
Yes. You’ll receive a photography workbook covering the essential basics, which you can use during the workshop and keep for future reference.
What should I bring on the day?
Bring your camera (or smartphone), a fully charged battery, an empty memory card and any lenses you regularly use. Comfortable walking shoes, water and weather-appropriate clothing are also recommended.
How much walking is involved?
The workshop takes place on foot in central Lisbon. The city has hills, steps and cobbled streets, but the route can be adapted where possible. Please mention any mobility concerns before the workshop, and I will happily adapt the route.
Is this a sightseeing tour?
The main focus is photography, and although it's not a formal guided tour, you will see a lot. I’ll naturally share local knowledge and help you discover interesting places to photograph along the way.
What happens if it rains?
Light rain does not always mean the workshop needs to be cancelled, and photography can even be more interesting. We may adapt the route, work in sheltered areas, or change the photography exercises. If conditions are unsuitable, we’ll discuss rescheduling.
