Istanbul, Turkey -  May 16-21 2025

Another epic 5-day street photography workshop in the historical streets of Istanbul.

Rain or shine, this city always delivers and our group was prepared to capture amazing moments in all conditions. Five super intensive days, tons of walking, and a whole lot of good times along the way.

'I strongly recommend this workshop. I loved the way Jonathan structured the week: the shooting locations were carefully chosen, the presentations throughout the day were invaluable, and the small-group format made the experience both engaging and fun. I liked every minute of the workshop and feel that I've learned a lot.'  - Simon Grégoire

'Having attended a number of photography workshops in both the UK and internationally over the past few years, I would rate Jonathan’s as by far the best I have been on. The organization and research on the location is first class, with regular communication in advance of arriving to make sure everyone was ok, great recommendations for booking accommodation and when, and also how best to arrive.' - Tom Pitts

'Jonathan’s workshop was well-planned and thoughtfully organized. In addition to the photowalks and insightful photo critiques, I especially enjoyed the post-lunch sharing sessions. They were relaxed, engaging, and provided great opportunities for open discussion Jonathan would tailor the content based on the topics we had expressed interest in before the workshop, which made the experience even more relevant and personalized.

Jonathan is simply a pleasure to be around—warm, fun, and full of energy. He’s incredibly attentive and considerate, going above and beyond in every detail-including introducing great local food and coffee spots.

Once again, thank you for a great workshop.' -  Rachel Chung
