What to expect
You'll meet your guide Jan at an agreed starting point and spend three hours on foot covering a mix of Prague's recognisable vantage points and quieter streets photographers often miss. As light shifts through late afternoon into dusk, Jan will position the group, demonstrate camera settings for each condition, and offer real-time critique of your compositions—adjusting framing, exposure, or focal length based on what you're shooting. You'll move steadily through the city, stopping to shoot, adjust, and move on rather than lingering at one spot.
The tour wraps as natural light fades into the blue hour, when city lights come alive. You'll finish with techniques for capturing night scenes. Throughout, Jan focuses on practical skills—how your particular camera handles each light condition, how to compose stronger frames, and where locals know to shoot rather than following guidebook spots.

Good to know
This suits anyone with a camera (phone, compact, DSLR, mirrorless) who wants to shoot better cityscape photos and learn from someone who knows Prague intimately. You don't need prior photography knowledge—the tour accommodates all levels—but you should be comfortable walking at a steady pace for 3 hours through a city with uneven pavements and stairs. The timing (late afternoon to dusk) means you're shooting in changing light, which is brilliant for learning but requires focus and patience. Prams and strollers are welcome if you're bringing a non-shooting companion. Food and drink aren't included, so plan accordingly. Private tours and small-group sessions (max 3 photographers) mean personalised attention but also a smaller pool of perspective-sharing. Public transport is nearby for getting to the meeting point.
