Frequently asked questions

Can I bring a spouse on the photo tour?

Your one or two family members or friends can tag along free of charge.

Do you offer multiple-day photo tours outside of Prague?

Yes, I do. I can prepare a photography trip to some of the best photography spots in the Czech Republic, such as Český Krumlov or South Moravia. Contact me and describe what you want to photograph (cities, landscapes, specific places), how many days you have, etc., and I will tailor-make an enjoyable and productive photo trip.

What if it rains?

If the forecast looks dreadful, with zero opportunities to take photos (typically prolonged rain), I will contact you and try rescheduling the tour for the following day. A short expected shower is not a reason for a change because, under certain conditions, you can take great shots right before or after a short rain. Weather forecasts is in the Czech Republic are often rather inaccurate, so don’t rely on it 100%.

What’s the cancelation policy?

You don’t pay anything in advance, but I still expect you to inform me as soon as possible if your plans change. I will try to contact you a couple of days before the tour to confirm everything. If I don’t hear back from you, I will consider the tour canceled.

What is the maximum number of people on the photo tour?

The maximum are 3 photographers in a small-group tour. This participants to tutor ratio allows for individual approach. Each photographer can bring 1-2 family members to tag along. You can always opt-in for a private tour.

Yes, upon request, I run post-processing sessions where I show you how I’d edit your images from our photo workshop in Adobe Lightroom Classic CC.

Can I do a photo session where you take pictures of me?

I’m more than happy to take a few images of you as a memory of our tour, but I don’t do photo shoot sessions myself. I work with other photographers who specialize in these and deliver outstanding results. Reach out to me for a recommendation.

I generally recommend to bring a wide-angle lens (e.g. 16-35 mm), a mid-range zoom lens (e.g. 24-70 mm) and a telephoto lens (e.g. 70-200 mm). But you can take great images even without a camera with interchangeable lenses. I’ll teach you how to use your compact camera or a smartphone to the max, so you take great photos of Prague.

On our evening tour, we will walk about 6,5 km (~4 miles) and cover many great locations that open countless photo opportunities.
