One Day Photography Workshop — Level 1

With Mostafa Abdel Aty

Includes an optional online feedback session

Camera or phone, no experience needed. Spend an afternoon shooting in Downtown Cairo, learning to see light differently and capture sharper photos. If you want, join an online feedback session afterwards where we'll review your best shots together.

The best photos from our walks go on show in a small exhibition. Yours could be one of them.

Join us online on Wednesday, November 18th for a 1.5-hour session reviewing the strongest photos and discussing what could be improved. We'll choose between 6 PM and 9 PM together after the walk. Can't make it? No problem. The shooting day is the heart of the workshop.
