We already scouted Bucharest for the most unique vantage points. During the tour, we’ll share these privileged corners with you, along with various, must-have techniques so you can shoot your own stunning photos.
Through our workshop we will take you off the Automatic Mode of your camera to Manual. You only need to bring your best camera and your best walking shoes.
Photo Tour Special Edition
The Văcărești Lake is an old abandoned communist grand project. But Mother Nature had other plans and a small ecosystem had developed in the 190 hectares basin in a surreal urban landscape. 90 species of mammals, birds and invertebrates just a few subway stops from downtown.
This tour is for all you nature lovers out there! We’ll deal with heat, cold, dust, rain or snow, but it’s all to take great photographs.
