Private Workshop · Seoul

Tailored to You

Our private workshops allow for complete customization of the workshop experience by you. Open to individuals (and their partners), the exact locations, duration and focus of the workshop can be determined through direct discussion with Jitse and Chris. This option is great for short term visitors to Seoul, or anyone requiring assistance realizing specific photography goals in the city.

Building a custom itinerary with us will ensure that your time in Seoul is experienced on your own terms, while we help make it as smooth and fulfilling as possible.

Whether you’re interested in a fast-tracked and focused photography learning experience, or a stress-free guided excursion, please reach out and we’ll do our best to make it a reality.

Beyond The City

Mountains, Countryside, and Everything Between

While our 3-day and 5-day workshops focus on the heart of the city, a private workshop could easily include a detour through the mountains and spaces that color Seoul green, a journey to the city’s outer limits, or a even a step further afield into the surrounding countryside.
