I also wanted to mention how much I enjoy meeting the other participants and that so many of the participants are such talented photographers, it makes the editing sessions so informative and enjoyable. Watching you edit, process and discuss the photos are really a good learning experience for me.

Like each new workshop is like starting from scratch, each day of it is also starting from scratch. In every meeting he would choose a few photos but the next morning we start again from blank. The days are long and intense, but for me it’s just pure joy. We have some good days but others we hit the wall. It’s inexplicable the pleasure we have when we manage to go over that wall. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn’t. But as Nikos well said: “We can have good days and bad days. But that is not important. What really matters is that we never lose the great feeling of wanting to go out and take photos. That, it is very important.” And I do hope, to never lose that feeling.
Niko, thank you again, and I am already looking forward to Argentina next month.

-The pleasure of learning and improving from a great photographer and a marvellous teacher
-The pleasure of being part of a high level group where community is more important than competition
-The pleasure of travelling trying to look at the country from inside
-The pleasure of the pleasure.

I am a beginner and I think my greatest takeaway from this workshop is that now I feel I am determinedly on a quest: I am more curious about the art of photography, I have more and more questions, I want to know more, I challenge myself more, I am more relaxed about the whole process. I’m simply enjoying being on the street with my camera without any expectations but to see all the layers of what is right in front of my eyes, and practice, practice, practice.
Thank you, Nikos.

The workshops with Nikos are a pleasure. I really appreciate the structure which gives me freedom to structure my day and ample feedback and learning in the evenings. Nikos’ feedback is a wonderful combination of straight shooting and kindness. I learned a lot and will certainly attend again.

(…) For me personally, it was a very strong photographic experience. Upon my return to Cyprus, I have caught myself turning away from previous photographic preferences and looking for something different, with more depth(…)

The workshop with Nikos was a great experience. Nikos is an incredible generous educator, encouraging and inspiring. His dedication and passion for photography is contagious and inspiring and it has stuck with me. I enjoyed the workshop and felt that I learned a great deal. I would recommend it to everybody!
Fernando Retuerto Piñeiro, Spain
Nikos always selects places for his workshops where freedom is breathed and Cuba is a great place to take photos. The group was composed of fantastic people with talent for photography. Some of them really impressed me. Nikos’ comments and advice about everybody’s pictures were, as always, superb.
