Photowalk: Documentary Street Photography – Capture real life!

This workshop will be conducted in English.

How often do you walk down a busy street without really noticing the small details, chance encounters and special moments? During this photowalk, Linda Koolen from Sigma will take you into the world of street documentary photography. She’ll show you the difference between a nice street photo and an image that actually tells a story.

In this informal yet inspiring workshop, you’ll learn to look more consciously at your surroundings, recognise meaningful moments and build a visual story within the dynamics of the city. Using practical examples and personal experiences, Linda will share her top tips on observation, composition, timing and capturing authentic human interactions. Together, you’ll explore the bustling streets of The Hague in search of the moments that give a story its power. Whether you’re just starting out in street photography or already have some experience, this workshop offers new insights and plenty of inspiration.
