Led by Janina Wilde & Helen Trust Cost: £1400 (Deposit £500) Maximum Number of participants: 10 ‍ ‍ 17-21st October 2026

Join us for a four-night creative adventure in the breath-taking city of Budapest, Hungary’s captivating capital.

With small group sizes and individual feedback, you’ll have plenty of time to develop your creative voice and return home with a portfolio full of stunning, distinctive images.

Come and join us for an unforgettable journey through one of Europe’s most beautiful capital cities — where art, history, and creativity meet.

Sample Itinerary

(Please note: exact locations and timings may vary depending on weather and light conditions — after all, this is photography!)

Day 1 – Arrival & Welcome
We’ll meet in the bar of our well-located hotel for a relaxed welcome drink before heading out with our cameras to capture the magic of Budapest at sunset and into the night. It’s the perfect chance to get a flavour of the city’s atmosphere — and to get to know each other before sharing our first dinner together.

Day 2 – Sunrise & City Architecture
An early rise this morning for sunrise photography, taking in some of Budapest’s most impressive buildings and bridges in the golden light. Later, we’ll explore the elegant architecture on the Pest side of the river, with an optional visit to one of the city’s famous thermal baths — a true Budapest experience!

Day 3 – Autumn Colours & Sunset Strolls
After a later start, we’ll spend the day walking across the river to explore the beautiful autumn colours and stunning architecture that line the streets and parks. As evening falls, we’ll be ready for another sunset session, making the most of the city’s soft evening glow.

Day 4 – Creative Techniques & Storytelling
Another early sunrise opportunity, experimenting with different techniques as the city wakes. Later, we’ll travel beyond the centre to a fascinating open-air museum filled with monumental statues — the perfect setting for exploring narrative and artistry through the lens. On our return, we’ll stop at some of Budapest’s photogenic metro stations, a treasure trove of colour and geometry.

Day 5 – Farewell & Final Frames
For those who can’t resist one more sunrise, there’s an optional early shoot before we say our goodbyes. Throughout the workshop, we’ll also enjoy delicious traditional Hungarian food and take part in an editing session focused on minimalism and multiple exposure, ensuring you return home with both inspiration and practical new skills.
