Prague, the enchanting capital of the Czech Republic, is a beautiful city where centuries of architectural splendour have survived remarkably intact. Nestled in the heart of Central Europe along the winding Vltava River, Prague’s Gothic cathedrals, Baroque palaces, Art Nouveau facades, and Cubist masterpieces offer a wealth of photographic opportunities. From the fairytale silhouette of Prague Castle to the medieval charm of Charles Bridge and the old trams, our Prague photography workshop is designed to help you capture the city’s magic while mastering essential techniques for urban and architectural photography.
Accommodation is included in the price of the workshop from start to finish.
I keep all my workshop groups small to ensure everyone gets the time they need.
This is a city workshop and all locations are accessible on foot.
We will visit some of the best locations to capture the most beautiful scenery.
Charles Bridge in Prague is a lovely scene to photograph, especially during the golden hours of dawn and dusk when the soft light brings out the detail and texture of its Gothic towers and Baroque statues.
The bridge’s weathered stone, the Vltava River flowing beneath, and the spires of the Old Town create layers of visual interest that work beautifully in both wide-angle or close up for more intimate details.
Prague’s network of underground tunnels and passageways offer a moody, atmospheric alternative to the city’s sunlit landmarks, and are especially compelling at night.
These subterranean scenes are rich with texture—ancient brick archways, worn stone walls, flickering candlelight, and dramatic shadows that are perfect for moody, cinematic images.
Prague’s iconic trams, especially the vintage red-and-cream models rattling through the historic centre, offer dynamic street photography opportunities that capture the city’s blend of old-world charm and everyday life.
The trams themselves are photogenic subjects, whether you’re shooting them head-on as they emerge from narrow cobblestone streets, capturing their curved forms rounding corners with Prague Castle in the background, or freezing motion as they cross the Vltava River bridges with the city skyline behind them.
The Gothic towers guarding both ends of Charles Bridge, particularly the Old Town Bridge Tower, considered one of the finest Gothic gateways in Europe, are architectural masterpieces.
The Old Town tower’s ornate facade, decorated with sculptures of saints, royal crests, and intricate stone carvings, catches beautiful directional light in early morning or late afternoon when the sun rakes across its surface, revealing texture and depth in the weathered sandstone.
These are just a few of the fabulous scenes and locations we will photograph on our four-day photography workshop in this lovely, ancient European city.
