We had so much fun on this tour and saw Berlin differently through lines and lenses! Amazing time with a friendly host boot. And great photography tips as we went around the city. Highly recommend!
Fabian is an excellent photographer and bring you to unique places with great photography options. Very easy to communicate and points directly to your and. We had excellent photography session. Recommend to all levels of photographers
I have visited Berlin several times, but I was never quite satisfied with my photos from these trips. This time, I decided to book a full-day (10 hours) photography tour with Fabian. Leading up to the booked day, I had excellent communication with Fabian, where I described the type of photography I was interested in and my usual approach to taking photos. When the day finally arrived, everything went exactly as I had hoped. Fabian took me to many different locations that I would never have found on my own without spending a lot of time in the city. He also provided valuable tips for discovering new subjects. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend Fabian to anyone looking to improve their photography skills while exploring Berlin.
Our guide went out of his way to assess my skills and interests. We went to viewpoints I would have never found on my own, and got great pictures of Belin at night
I had an amazing tour last night with Fabian. It’s my first time to Berlin and I wanted to capture evening cityscapes but also my historical interests. We were able to capture landmarks in a whole new way. I also learned how to use my own camera in a much more robust way. Fabian was patient and also answered all my questions! Great tour for solo travelers.
Fabian is a fabulous photographer and teacher. I learned so much in the short time we spent on our tour with him. I am so appreciative as I wanted to improve my photography skills and Fabian really did a great job! He is pleasant, patient and so easy to understand. Fabian helped me get some gorgeous shots of our Bucket List of Berlin! Thank you again, Fabian! Would recommend this tour without any hesitation!!!!!
Had a fabulous experience with Fabian last night. He is delightful to hang out with, has excellent photography skills and wonderful knowledge of the nooks and crannies of Berlin. If I visited for a month on my own I would still not have found the vantage points that Fabian took me to. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience and would highly recommend to any photographers visiting Berlin.
I was in Berlin for a week, and did two photo tours with Fabian. It was the best thing I did in Berlin! Fabian is an excellent guide, and it was super fun! Highly recommend!
Fabian is a very kind and thoughtful guide with lots of knowledge on photography and Berlin! The tour was very informative and I got personalized advice that'll help me improve my photography in the future.
In the beginning I was a little hesitant to book this tour since I’m pretty much a beginner when it comes to photography and I only own a mobile phone. However, I really enjoyed the photo tour with Fabian and learned a lot about photography and Berlin. Fabian is a great teacher and showed me a lot of things I wasn’t even aware my phone can do. I certainly recommend this tour to everyone who’s interested in photography and wants to experience Berlin through the eyes of a local.
Fantastic and fun experience with Fabian our tour and photo guru. He guided us through the evening photography tour of Berlin and provided tips on how to improve our photos. Highly recommended
This was a great experience while solo traveling. He was extremely knowledgeable about the city and took me to great locations and showed me how to use my iPhone as I did not have a professional camera. He will reach out ahead of time to gauge the best experience for you personally.
Fabian was a great host for my two teenagers and myself. He gave us a very good introduction into photography and in how to compose a good picture. My kids loved the tour and it was the first thing they talked about back home after a three day Berlin trip. Fabian adapted easily to our skills and he explained everything very well, so that it was easy to follow. Also prior to the trip Fabian responded very quickly to messages. We really recommend this tour with Fabian.
Fabian is fantastic! In less than 30 minutes he dramatically improved my ability to take stunning photos across all lighting scenarios. I enjoyed walking Berlin and finding sites with great opportunities to compose something memorable and beautiful.
It was a very interesting tour, Fabian was a great host and we for sure would go for another one, someday!
Fabian did an amazing job explaining the fundamentals of composition, rule of thirds and showing me how to get the best out of my camera. He made me see that I don’t need a super expansive camera to take amazing shots. I highly recommend this for anyone looking to improve their photography skills.
I was so impressed by Fabian’s knowledge and passion for the city! As a tour guide alone you get to see the best spots in Berlin but when you add in help and advice he gives you in getting the best photo then this really is a must do experience . I can honestly say my photography has improved vastly from his help and I have some stunning shots to remember by trip by !
A fantastic tailor-made tour, adaptive to my skill level. Fabian is knowledgeable and supportive. We started at 5.15pm, an hour before sunset, which is a great time to learn about lighting, and allowed me to discover that I can do a lot more with my camera than I ever thought it could do! The timing also allowed us to take photos of popular locations which are normally very crowded during day time. I picked up lots of tips. I'm back home looking at the night shots we took and looking to replicate/practise them when I'm out of quarantine :-) Thanks Fabian for your time, tips, and follow-up reading materials.
Fabian was absolutely fantastic. He matched the tour to my skill level, asking throughout for feedback to make sure that I was getting the guidance and assistance I needed. He not only showed me some great spots to shoot in Berlin, but also helped me to get some wonderful shots and improve my skill level in a way that I'll be able to practice in the future. I highly recommend this tour!
Fabian was great, he juggled different skills within the group perfectly, made everyone happy and showed us some great places.
What an excellent tour to up your photography game. Fabian was very kind and knowledgeable. I couldn’t have picked a more perfect experience for my time here in Berlin. This is the tour for you if you want to capture something in a new perspective. I consider photography a hobby and learned new skills I can use for a lifetime. Danke Fabian! Phillip B.
I booked the session at the last minute and Fabian was very accommodating, available and responded to messages quickly. During the session I learned a lot of tricks which make a big difference to have better photos. I also had the chance to discover a little more Berlin since I am new in the city. I really had a great time with Fabian. I really recommend this session and probably book again with him ;)
I really enjoyed the tour with Fabian! Since I live in Berlin my focus wasn't on seeing all the famous landmarks but on getting more tips about photography. He did a great job at making sure to explaining all the things I told him in advance were important / interesting to me. Although it was freezing cold outside he was super patient and enthusiastic. Fabian is extremly humble, down-to-earth and easy to be around with. I highly recommend the tour to anyone looking for a professional photo tour in Berlin.
I really enjoyed this tour with Fabian. He is such a nice guy and is able to convey so much information in a very simple, yet effective way. The whole tour lasted for about 2 hours and we went to a few spots I have never been to before while we chatted about photography and Berlin. He was able to show me some very simple concepts and tricks that can make a huge difference in the quality of the pictures. I would recommend his tour to anyone who wants to learn something new and have a lot of fun at the same time.
It was a great Tour with Fabian. I had already seen some Spot but the way He gives the Tour was splendid. He has a vast knowledge of the spots where you can go and have some great photographs. I had to find some spot to shoot in Berlin and I had no knowledge. So I booked the tour and it came with Berlin’s one of the best photographer FABIAN. He is not only share those spots but also he share with you all possible histfacts that you might admire. For me it was also some talk about photography and we share our thoughts and I must say that Tour opens a fantastic way to meet other photographers. In a nutshell, I recommend anyone who wants to explore Berlin and have to have some great photos of them, Fabian is the guy. So, trust him and go explore Berlin.
Fabian’s a very easygoing photographer who made me feel comfortable since the beginning of the tour. He was able to show me a lot of nice spots while teaching me many useful photography techniques for better compositions, effects and editing. Definitely recommended for those visiting Berlin or for those like me who live in Berlin for years and want to step up their camera game. Thanks, Fabian :-)
Fabian was just the perfect company for such an activity. Not just because of his excellent photography knowledge, but also because of how well he knows the city. Over and above, all of this comes with his friendly attitude and openness to any kind of questions or requests. I got this tour with Fabian as a birthday gift in December 2020. By the time I’m writing this review I still annoy him with so many questions about photography and he is always welcoming them and answering them with the same great attitude. So if you are in Berlin, and into photography, with just your phone or your compact camera, or even your DSLR, just get a tour with Fabian.
Fabian was fantastic. Tour was catered exactly to my level and what I wanted to work on photographically and I picked up some great tips. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to have some interesting examples of what is possible when capturing photos of the sights of Berlin.
Booking the portrait session with Fabian was one of the best ideas I have ever had! I am so grateful to have come across Fabian on my trip to Berlin, and I am so thankful that he followed his passion to become a fotographer, and to share it with here with other travelers. It was an unforgettable experience that I would recommend a million times over, and would be happy to meet again with Fabian for another shoot in another city or for a photography workshop. Fabian was kind, communicative, punctual, professional, FUN, flexible.. I couldn't say enough good things. He is an EXCELLENT photographer, and I loved every single shot he took of me, and every location he chose. He was excited to work with me and being a single girl traveler his vibe and energy were very welcome and appreciated. thank you for a great day and a great experience Fabian! hope to host you in Stockholm sometime :)
I'm really glad that I booked my photo tour with Fabian as it turned out to be a real highlight of my recent trip to Berlin. Fabian is not only an excellent professional photographer but also a knowledgeable city guide. I highly appreciated his location tips and technical advice on how to make best photos with my DSLR camera. He was also very flexible to accommodate my wishes regarding the places we visited. Within two hours we covered an impressive number of Berlin attractions, including Brandenburger Tor, Reichstag, Gendarmenmarkt, Bebel Platz, Berliner Dom or Nikolai District. So, thanks to the photo tour with Fabian I managed to take a great number of beautiful and interesting pictures of Berlin in best possible locations. I highly recommend this tour to any visitor to Berlin interested in photography.
At the beginning, I was about hesitating taking the tour since I mainly shot photos with only my smart phone even I am quite interested in photographing. However, after taking the tour I really recommend it. Fabian was so friendly and arrange the tour base on my interests and needs. We talked and Fabian shew me some of the skills about compositions and lightings. I learnt a lot and it has became one of the highlights of my trip.
The Phototour with Fabian was one of the highlights of my weekend in Berlin. I learned so much about this beautiful city and the architecture but most important, I learned how to take better photos with my camera. Fabian is very patient and knows a lot about photography. I can not recommend enough to go on a tour with him!
Whether you are a well seasoned photographer or just want to take some really cool pictures with your phone, Fabian will show you the best spots, the coolest compositions and will share his knowledge and experience with you based on your needs and capabilities. He is a very easy going person and very helpful in any way he can. He spends time to prepare the trip, depending on your agenda and purpose. He was also nice enough to help me with post processing of some of my RAW shots after the tour, which was a huge help! I took the tour with Fabian with the goal in mind, that one of the photos I would take that evening would end up as a large print on a wall in our apartment. I was not disappointed. Now I debate which one. This was a great experience and Fabian inspired me to again spend more time out with the camera. I will book another trip with him when we go back to Berlin.
My family and I had a wonderful time with the photographer. Fabian planned a very interesting tour for us taking into account what we had already visited. It was nice to see the city through the eys of a local photographer. But not only his photograhic but als his guiding skills made this tour instructive. Fabian showed us also great angles and perspectives to make excellent pictures. I highly recommend this photo tour.
The photo tour I did with Fabian was the perfect end to my Berlin trip. He was super friendly and made an effort to understand what I am looking for in the activity, my photography proficiency, and shared valuable photography tips. Next time I am in Berlin, I am definitely doing another photo walk with Fabian.
If you're a photographer visiting Berlin, you can as well make your research about the fine spots online - or you ask Fabian to guide you and you won't be disappointed! This guy has a very keen eye on photography, esp. architecture and cityscapes, and he knows his city well. He will show you the best views according to the time of day, weather conditions and your personal interest in photography. Also I found him to be a very pleasant and easy-to-go person, helpful and good-spirited, so you will enjoy your tour with Fabian. I'm already looking forward to another city tour with him!
We booked a photo tour with Fabian. We were particularly interested in the topic of shapes, colors, lines, reflections. He has implemented this perfectly. He could show us places we would never have come across. He gave us many tips which we were able to implement immediately. He understands very well how to combine modernity with classical. Time flew by, we could have continued to take pictures for a long time. We will definitely visit Berlin again and also plan a photo tour with Fabian, only next time we will schedule more time for one or more photo tours. I can only recommend it to any dedicated photo enthusiast from my own experience. Fabian you did really great, thank you so much!
Very professional local photographer and an experienced, friendly guide. Explains everything neatly and gives good advice regarding taking good photos. Very happy with it, highly recommended, Fabian thank you very much for beautiful pictures. Mvg Gordie
What a great Berlin Photo Tour with Fabian to some of Berlin's sights! Fabian is a very personable guide, he can adapt quickly and well to people and capture the individual level of knowledge. He is absolutely reliable and communicative. He always answered my questions patiently and competently and gave me numerous useful tips that I will continue to apply. Great photos were taken during the tour! His enthusiasm for photography is contagious without creating a rush. The tour was also very helpful for me because I don’t know my way around Berlin and didn’t have enough time to find these good photo spots myself. Tips and funny tricks from Insider are simply the best. 😊 Fabian also offers more trainings online, which I will gladly use. On my next visit to Berlin I will definitely book a Berlin photo tour with Fabian again!
Fabian is a very good teacher, she teaches you with a lot of patience and dedication, taking this tour is something you should definitely do in Berlin
It was a lot of fun. Great photos were taken and many experiences and tips taken away. Relaxed atmosphere, so you could ask questions well. Nice guy! Thank you.
I've learned a lot. It was well organized and well set up. It was fun, too. Clear communication Very glad I got to do this
On Saturday, 17.07.2021 I did a spontaneous Berlin photo tour with Fabian as I was in Berlin and felt like learning some new tips and tricks - especially with regard to the composition of the pictures. We started at 8:30 a.m., so it was not so crowded around the Brandenburg Gate. The sky was a bit grey and I had already considered how comfortable the photos would be. But in On the contrary, the clouds were excellent in the photos and I learned a lot in the two hours! Even though I had my SLR camera with me, we took all the photos with the iPhone 12 Pro Max and got really great - with all the tips and tricks Fabian told me! I can only recommend the tour with Fabian, will now practice and plan a tour with Fabian again on the next visit to Berlin 😊
My husband has rediscovered his passion for photography during the pandemic and so I gave him this photography workshop for his birthday. Communication with Fabian before the tour was great. He put together an individual tour and responded to my husband's photographic interests. Fabian wore a mouth and nose guard throughout the tour and went to great lengths to observe the distancing rules. My husband was enthusiastic about the tour and thinks he learned a lot more. All in all, a great gift for photography enthusiasts!
Top photographer and for me one of the first addresses in Berlin. I have worked with Fabian on several occasions and hope that we will continue to work together in the future. In addition to his strong eye for suitable motifs, his patience should be emphasized, if it sometimes takes longer or the "model" is unhappy with himself.
Very individual and professional guide to the highlights in the government district. Plenty of time at the individual spots with lots of practical tips for optimal image composition. A unique experience.
