Photography: Light Night Painting at Prague's Old Town in Prague - 4867d640e883d78db1ab184b53c63b75

Prague is one of the gems of Eastern Europe and is the home to a unique architecture and mirific views. Join an alternative and one of the kind photographic workshops you will find in Prague.

I've been teaching photography at the Academy of Photography for Contemporary Art for more than a decade and I've come to truly master this skill. This is the most popular workshop that I hold and I'm sure you'll love it too. If you're interested in discovering my city through your lens this experience is perfect for you!

For the newcomers: Light painting, or light drawing, is a photographic technique in which exposures are made by moving a hand-held light source while taking a long exposure photograph, either to illuminate a subject or to shine a point of light directly at the camera, or by moving the camera itself during exposure.

If you have any questions or if there is anything else that you would like to know, please do not hesitate to contact me. Let me know your preferences and I'll customize the experience for you and your group.

I look forward to showing you the tricks through which you can create your own art in a playful and fun way. Don't forget your camera!

This was a one to one night photography lesson. Pavel took time to ascertain how much I understood about my camera and spent a lot of time explaining some issues I had failed to understand. Based on this we set up the tripod and Pavel talked me through the aspects of using a long exposure. We spent about an hour experimenting with various shots, and Pavel explained why some worked and some were not so successful. I learned a lot during this session. Later we moved on to light painting and this was such fun. Pavel showed me various techniques using torches and flash units. The results were fascinating. I enjoyed the evening very much indeed and would recommend a lesson with Pavel to anybody interested in photography, next time they are in Prague. Pavel was an excellent teacher and he was such fun!

Excellent experience, well worth the time and money invested on it. I am an experienced photographer but Pavel had so much to teach me, I learned many very useful techniques that surely will be used in the near future. Due to last minute changes I had to take my 12 y/o tweens with me for the the workshop. Pavel got them engaged since the very begining, showing them photo techniques they could apply. After dark he thought us “painting with light” , amazing technique, fun results we had a great evening in Prague that my kids (and I) will never forgetExcellent

Pavel is a patient and professional teacher who although not feeling well, still took us on a short walking tour around Prague to improve my knowledge of night photography and introduce me to the art of light painting in photography. It was great to get a professional tutorial and opinion on a few photos, and I think I have a better idea and understanding of what's required to take better photos consistently. Thanks Pavel for making the effort to spend a few hours with us. A great opportunity for anyone wanting to improve their knowledge on setting up their camera, composition etc.Tour with a professional

We're happy to have found Pavel and his great workshop. I booked the tour for my daughter who loves photography. Pavel turned down his level to hers and teached her the basics of lighting, focus and settings to achieve beautiful photos at dusk and night. She learnt a few tricks to paint with light and she and my son had a great time playing with the camera in different locations in the city. Pavel is such a kind man, patient and thorough with the explanations. I highly recommend this tour.Learn and discover

I felt like a kid in a candy store on this tour. Pavel got us so excited about what we could do with our camera settings to take full advantage of the night lights of Prague. What we achieved was so much fun. We played with the light and got so many interesting and beautiful images. These are some of the most artistic photographs I've taken. Pavel is a fantastic teacher. So patient, warm and attentive. If you are serious about photography I would highly recommend this tour. It totally blew my mind!Photography: Light Night Painting at Prague's Old Town
