The World’s Smallest Big City - Stockholm Photography Tour

Our Stockholm Photography Tour will take place in September and will be led by Charlie Waite and Astrid McGechan.

Sweden’s capital Stockholm stretches across 14 islands, which are connected by 57 bridges, giving this waterfront city its unique charm. Our tour will give us the chance to explore Stockholm’s multi-faceted character, as we will take in grand views of its skyline, fascinating architecture, and the unique art installations in the ‘Tunnelbana’, the city’s Underground railway network, often dubbed the world’s longest art installation.

The World’s Smallest Big City - Stockholm Photography Tour

We will be based in Gamla Stan, the island on which Stockholm’s old town was built. It is one of the largest and best-preserved medieval city centres in Europe and features cobble-stone streets, narrow alleyways and colourful houses from the 17th and 18th centuries. We will explore Gamla Stan both during the day time and after dark, to indulge in some low-light photography.

In Stockholm, we can find the world’s oldest open-air museum, where we can delve deeper into Sweden’s history, discovering what life was like in centuries gone by. Back in the city centre, we’ll head to the Stadshuset, Stockholm’s City Hall, which was built with 8 million bricks during the period of national romanticism in architecture. Climbing up the tower will present us with the best view of Gamla Stan.

We won’t be short of inspiration, but there is nothing quite like a good exhibition to feed our creativity – Fotografiska is bound to have something exciting in store for us. We can visit there anytime during the evening, it’s open until midnight!

Skogskyrkogården is a large forested cemetery with UNESCO World Heritage Site status, which was opened around 100 years ago and incorporates the features of the local landscape. The natural beauty is breathtaking, and we can explore the Almhöjden Garden and the tree avenue.

In Stockholm, one must go underground. The city’s metro system might as well be called a gallery – though one that is 110km long! Almost all stations feature some kind of art installation, from sculptures and mosaics to paintings, engravings, and reliefs. Some artists address pressing political, environmental or human rights issues, others concentrate on simply improving the experience of travelling.

Charlie and Astrid will be your tutors for this city tour. With no shortage of subject matter, and their expert guidance, you can let your creativity loose, safe in the knowledge that you will return with images to treasure.

Luxury Editions

Essentially, a Luxury Editions tour is an exclusive micro learning group with five star tuition and treatment in all aspects of the tour. Each year a small number of ‘Luxury Editions’ tours will run where the group numbers no more than four photographers per tutor. Here the learning approach is more intensive where the leader is able to offer constant ‘hands-on guidance’ allowing them an opportunity to work in depth with each individual photographer in addition to working with the group on a collective basis. In addition to this, the accommodation will be of a high standard and special extras will be included. These tours are only taught by our long standing leaders who have years of experience and are highly sought after. If you would like to join a Luxury Edition tour, then the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop.

Off the Beaten Track

Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tours cater for those more adventurous photographers who would like to get off the beaten track and explore roads untrodden or delve into the culture of a place. Groups are small and you can be assured that although the tour leader will have an in-depth knowledge of the location, you may veer off track if an unplanned photography opportunity presents itself! The tuition is five star on these tours. The accommodation varies on these tours from mid range hotels, shared cabins on a ship to basic and clean camps. Our priority is to get you to the best locations in time for the best shot and if this means camping half way up a mountain then so be it! Our 'Off the Beaten Track' tutors will have experience and knowledge of the area, so you can be assured that you will be completely taken care off to allow you to concentrate on that award winning image. If you would like to join an ‘Off the Beaten Track’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. We do also ask that you have a good level of fitness as these tours could involve a large amount of walking. Check each tours description for requirements.

Classic

Our Classic tours are aimed at those who wish to discover unique locations, but at a more leisurely pace than the Off the Beaten Track tours. There will be ample time to immerse yourself in the location and spend time on your photography. Classic tours also focus on sunrise and sunset (which are optional for those who like to sleep in!) and have a slightly larger group size (max 8 per tutor) to allow the social side of photography to be appreciated. Tuition is five star and hotels are mid-high range depending on the tour. Every classic tour is different so do refer to the tour description for details of accommodation and locations visited. If you would like to join a ‘Classic’ tour, then a good knowledge of your camera would be an advantage, but not essential, and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.

City Tours

Interested in architectural photography or street photography? Do you get a buzz from photographing city life? Then a city tour is for you. We have a range of tours catering to various styles of photography including People/Street, Intentional Camera Movement, Iphoneography or Architectural photography. Tours range in length from weekend breaks, ideal for those who don’t have may days holiday left, or longer tours to allow yourself to truly explore the city. Our tutors have an in-depth knowledge of the location and will take you to undiscovered spots to ensure you come away with a varied selection of images that you are proud of. If you would like to join a ‘City’ tour, the requirement would simply be a complete understanding of the workings of the camera and the desire and commitment needed to attend the workshop. Fitness levels required vary depending on the tour so do check the exertion level under the description tab.
