PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOPS
Learn to take better photos by getting out there and doing it yourself. Choose from practical workshops on smartphone, street, night and urbex photography. In Doesburg and at unique photography locations. On your own or with your own group.
Do you want to learn photography by doing?
Are you someone who prefers to learn by taking photographs? During a Hanzebeeld photography workshop, you’ll be given a brief, clear introduction to the basics, after which we’ll mainly be getting stuck in ourselves. We’ll head outdoors: into the historic centre of Doesburg, or – during the urban exploration photography workshop – amongst the industrial buildings of Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord.
You’ll learn mainly by taking photos yourself, with clear explanations and personalised guidance. No prior knowledge is required. You can take part individually in a scheduled workshop or book a workshop with your own group. Afterwards, you’ll receive a handy digital reference guide.
Choose from our photography workshops
What do you need?
What you’ll need varies from workshop to workshop. For smartphone photography, bring your own mobile phone; for the other workshops, use your own camera. For night photography, you’ll also need a tripod. You can find out exactly what equipment you’ll need on each workshop’s page.
Group size
For the planned workshops, we limit the number of participants to ensure there is plenty of scope for personalised guidance. Would you like to attend a workshop with your own group? This is possible for a number of workshops, with a maximum of 15 people.
Time & location
The venue and time vary depending on the workshop. Many workshops take place at the Hanzebeeld studio on Roggestraat 3 in the centre of Doesburg, after which we’ll go outside to take some photos.
We organise workshops for private groups by arrangement. Some workshops, such as street photography, can also be held at a different venue or in a different city.
The urban exploration photography workshop will take place in Landschaftspark Duisburg-Nord. Please check the product page for each workshop for the latest times and venue.
Workshop with your own group
Fancy taking photos with friends, family or colleagues? Various photography workshops can also be booked exclusively for your own group. We’ll work with you to arrange a suitable date in Doesburg. Some workshops can also be held at a different venue or in another town.
Which photography workshop is right for you?
Choose the photography workshop that suits you best. Learn how to take better photos with your smartphone, discover street photography, try your hand at photography during the blue hour and in the dark, or experience urbex photography at a unique industrial location. Every workshop focuses on taking photos yourself and learning by doing.
How do you learn?
You learn photography mainly by doing it. That’s why we’ll keep the theory brief and get straight down to taking photos ourselves. Along the way, you’ll receive practical explanations, personalised guidance and tips that you can put into practice straight away. This way, you’ll not only learn how your camera or smartphone works, but, more importantly, how to take more thoughtful and impactful photos.
What does it cost?
The price varies depending on the workshop and the type of participation. You’ll find the current price and available dates listed for each individual workshop. Some workshops can also be booked exclusively for your own group. The prices quoted include coffee/tea and a digital reference guide.
Give a workshop as a gift
Fancy giving a photography workshop as a gift? Choose one of Hanzebeeld’s workshops and give the gift of photography, discovery and learning together. A lovely gift for a friend, partner, family member or colleague.
Would you like to give a workshop as a gift to your own group, or do you have a specific request? Please get in touch, and we’ll explore the options together.
