VIENNA
A workshop focused on visual perception in public space.
Observing light, rhythm, and structure rather than searching for subjects.
Developing clarity within a structured and continuous urban environment.
About the City
Vienna is a city shaped by continuity. History, proportion, and spatial order define its rhythm – not through grandeur, but through balance and measure. Light moves gently across façades and streets, revealing depth rather than contrast. Surfaces feel composed, sequences deliberate, transitions controlled. The city reveals itself through coherence rather than interruption. Streets feel structured, yet calm.
This makes Vienna an ideal place to observe order with sensitivity – to work within established structure rather than disruption, and to find clarity within continuity and subtle tension within restraint.
Focus of the Workshop
• Visual perception in public space
• Light, shadow, and subtle transitions
• Rhythm, repetition, and interruption
• Spatial relationships and distance
• Working with restraint instead of spectacle
How we Work
We move slowly, observe carefully, and work in short, focused phases. There will be guided moments, shared observation, and time to work independently. Feedback happens situationally – while walking, pausing, and reflecting together. The emphasis lies on awareness, rather than speed or output.
For Whom
This workshop is for photographers who want to refine how they see rather than what they photograph.
It is suited for those interested in visual perception, composition, and clarity in public space – independent of experience level or equipment. The focus lies on awareness, conscious decision-making, and developing a personal visual rhythm.
What makes this workshop special
This workshop focuses on how to see and work within Vienna’s formal, historically layered urban environment. What distinguishes this workshop is the emphasis on structure, symmetry, and visual discipline. Vienna is shaped by order, repetition, and architectural intention. We work with alignment, framing, and controlled timing within carefully composed spaces.
The group is intentionally small, allowing space for individual attention, focused observation, and precise feedback. We slow down, refine decisions, and engage deeply with composition and form. We work in short, concentrated phases, alternating between observation, shooting, and reflection. Feedback happens situationally – while walking, pausing, and reviewing images together in context. The focus is not on producing many images, but on developing a disciplined visual language – learning how to recognize order, tension, and subtle deviation within a city defined by structure and history.
