Workshop FAQ
Do private workshops have a fixed date?
No. After purchase, the studio contacts you by email to arrange a date and time that works for both sides.

A couple session is for two people. Group options are private bookings for up to four or up to eight participants.
Are materials included?
Inclusions depend on the workshop. Review the relevant product page before booking to see what to bring and what the studio provides.
Are the workshops suitable for beginners?
Many are beginner-friendly, but the best choice depends on your experience. A private format gives the instructor the most freedom to adapt the pace.
Where do workshops take place?
Unless the product states otherwise, workshops take place at Berlin Photo Studio, Nazarethkirchstraße 41, 13347 Berlin.
Which languages are available?
Language availability varies by instructor and workshop. Some current private products explicitly offer English with Italian or Chinese options; check the selected workshop before booking.
